Read all about the work being done by Borgny Ween and Knut Skyberg in raising funds for Nyaya Health, a hospital in Achham, Nepal. See Here

For his 60th Birthday last year, Knut organised two Hollies Concerts in Oslo, where he lives, with money raised being donated to Nyaya Health.

Read the birhday blog here

For this year, Knut has gone a step further and organised another two concerts in Norway and two more in Sweden. See Here

Well done, Borgny and Knut.

Unfortunately, Helen's illness prevents us from coming to Oslo again this year. Hope it all goes well.

Congratulations Knut, Borgny and The Hollies in helping to raise money for the people of Nepal.
I think Norwegians are very generous people - Being a football fan of Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) - our first game of the season was called off because the High Street where the ground is looked more like a war zone, due to the riots there 2 weeks ago. On Spurs' website, it said members of the Spurs' Norwegian Supporters club who were going to the game, had decided to still come to London and help local people who had lost their homes/businesses (as the club is doing) by spending their money locally. The club auctioned a Spurs shirt signed by all the players which the Norwegian fans bought with the proceeds going to local people.
Well done to all Very Happy
PS Come on you Spurs tomorrow night against Man U! (Sorry, I had to get that in!)

Here is a further blog following the very successful tour of Norway and Sweden in September, 2011

Also thanks to the fans in the UK who purchased the remaining posters from the trip, further adding to the funds for Nyaya Health.

And a special big thanks to Rob and Lesley who helped selling the posters in Norway and also did a big job in the UK.

In fact the final sum we were able to send this year was USD 55 000. This included a sum of money we held back after the "birthday concert" last year for possible taxation.

This is equal to more than GBP 35 000. This funding is a major contribution to start up the surgery department at the hospital.

Would you believe the Hollies had power to stay by evolution of their style from Buddy Holly ? That's for certain because they follow what goes around, write on and go out on the road. They did it then, they do it now - please do it always.
