By Lynn A. Granata

In 1966, the British Invasion had produced numerous acts that made this era in music great.  In London, England, at the famous Abbey Road studios is where 2 great English Rock Bands were established, The Hollies, and The Beatles. But the Hollies, unlike the Beatles are a much tighter group of 4-6 good friends who formed the wonderful three part harmony style of vocalese in a popular English Rock and Roll group. The original members consist(ed) of: Graham Nash, Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, Terry Sylvester, Bern Calvert and Bobby Elliott, respectively. They were from Blackpool, Manchester England UK. that is far north almost near the Welsh border.

Liverpool, where the Beatles are from is still quite far away from Blackpool. 

Just happened to be finding a lot of videos and information about a group from a much more enchanted time in musical history and I'm really loving it! I wanted to share this with you all, and give Global Criminologist a little break from the "heavy" subject matter to a much lighter note for a change, so hope you enjoy it!
