There is a growing voice to be heard for The Hollies to be inducted into the RRHOF.

If you haven't signed the "petition" you can do so here - http://tinyurl.com/2wg7v

What do you think about the RRHOF. Can this be a credible institution if has seen fit to overlook one of the best bands to emerge from the 60's and continues to perform live shows today. Question

Hey Rob .. Regarding the petition for the R&R Hall of Fame. You might want to consider setting up a special signup table for each venue during the Spring tour. This way people who attend the concerts can take a moment to sign a petition. I'm sure you would get many names that way. Of course the signup table would need to be designate as such so people will see it as they enter the venue.

Thanks Alan, I'll take a broom and sweep the stage too Rolling Eyes

I hardly get to see any of the show now. Sad

I am generally far too busy on show nights to manage anything else.

Perhaps someone else may fancy the job.

Cheers Rob

Rob, perhaps you could solicit for volunteers for each venue. You can activate the petition signup table PRIOR to the start of the concert and than again after the final curtain for the evening.

Hi all Exclamation

I signed the petition to get The Hollies into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on Friday and I went to the website earlier and it is now getting a lot of names on the guestbook.

Like I said on the guestbook, The Hollies should have been inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at least 20 years ago. Afterall they have been around for 41 years and still play to sell out audiences so they deserve to be recognized for their efforts.

I did Email The RARHOF address to a couple of people I know who like The Band and also to Helen MacDonald who runs Carl's Website.

Also Holliesfan, That is a brilliant idea you had about putting a petition on a table at Hollies concerts for people to sign and maybe that might happen, you never know. Very Happy

Bye for now

Susie

The whole idea of having a signup table at the concerts would be to BRING THE PETITION to the people. It is important that the table have a banner or some signage that states "HELP THE HOLLIES GET INTO THE RRHOF BY SIGNING THIS PETITION". Of course this is just a simple example. Lastly, the table must be placed in a highly visible area so those attending the concerts can see it as they enter the venue.

Hey Rob ... in case you've forgotten I reside in the US, so therefore it would be impossible for me to assist.

Hi Rob,

I have to agree with your question how credible is the RARHOF if they can overlook the Hollies for so long? The question then becomes, seeing some of the groups that have made it there, do we really want our boys there? Oh well. I signed the petition anyway. Shari

Hey Rob!

I'll help out for Glasgow, if you want a petition set up.... Always happy to oblige!

I have to say that I agree with you about the lack of credibility of the R&RHOF... they need a kick up the backside cos The Hollies should have been inducted way back, say 20 years ago... They are the most consistant band around... still working and making good music after 40 years Laughing

Well it all depends on whether we could persuade the Intermezzo to do a promotion for Mackison's and Cider. If the customers signed the petition they could get a half price pint of the above and sample the drink that inspired the hollies to write all the songs for which they deserve to be in the RRHOF Razz

Right Gordy

Start the negotiations!

We'd better ask Rob if he is okay with us setting up there but we have to enjoy ourselves whilst getting the Hollies into ra R&RHOF

DOn't we?

Hi All Exclamation

I signed the RARHOF petition about a month ago and yesterday my daughter Cindy (who has grown to like The Hollies) signed it as well so that's another person I know that's on the list.

All The Best

Susie
