Hi, Martin and all others going to the Lowry! I just cannot wait to come over again and see the band. This will be the 3rd time with the new line-up for me (was in Buxton and RAH). Very promising to see the reports from the recent shows.
We are 8 guys this time travelling from Norway. On Saturday we will see Paul Carrack in Holmfirth, and Wishbone Ash in Wolverhampton on Sunday. But it is the Hollies that made us come over.
Is there any place near the Lowry that fans are going to gather? |

One of my mates went to the Glasgow gig and said it was tremendous. Saw Geoff Downes and John Wetton in Glasgow on Friday night, now that was one helluva great concert! |

Hi Knut/All
The best pub and near to the venue is called The Quay House.
So that’s were some of us will be meeting and it is literally just by The Lowry and I’m in about 17.30 myself.
Open invite to anyone, including a Hollies Member or two to come along and say Hello before the gig!
All The Best,
Martin Dodd |

Hi All
As one or two of you may know already I went to see The Hollies last night, back in the Birthplace of many of the bands original members, Salford.
I will be doing a review on the show once again for The Hollies Homepage, but usually that takes me a few days to put together.
But meanwhile all I will say for now is that it was all in all a very enjoyable evening, the venue itself The Lowry is a very nice theatre. However I wouldn’t have but it down as one on the most favourable places that I have seen the Hollies at for the acoustics of a building.
At one stage during the show they stripped right down to the very basics of a 4-piece band. They performed Stay, and Ray Stiles came down to the frontline while Ian Parker and Steve left the stage for a while. Tony explained this was the way they recorded many of the songs back then.
I think I’m right in saying this is the first time I have heard them include Stay for some years. They did a superb version and Ray Stiles is a real superb harmony singer and handled the original Graham Nash parts without any trouble.
I for one would like to see him down on the frontline of The Hollies, it just does not seem right that he is stood or sat on a stool at the back after 20 years as a Hollies member. He also seems to have a great positive attitude on the other band members, which makes them, rock out even more so to speak. But that’s just my thoughts, he probably very happy stood at the back.
It was very nice at the gig to meet Knutt from who is one of the members here and all his friends who were over from Oslo, Norway. Also,it was good to catch up with Rob Heywood in the Bar area for a shortwhile before the show. (Good to see you gain Rob!)
Anyway all for now!
Martin |
