The Hollies' ALLAN CLARKE - A 60 Year Musical Odyssey. I start off by asking him how he met his wife

[@williewilycat9675]

Hi Allan...your band the Hollies,played the Memorial hall,Northwich 63/4? & my brother & myself got your autographs..you kindly invited us in to the sound check & we were gobsmacked..you also kindly, arranged for the doors on the side to be opened,for us to see the band!..it was unforgettable and remains in our memories forever..in fact it influenced us into playing in bands and I've done this 50+ plus years!..Thank you for the great memory,forever remembered ❤

Great interview. What a fantastic singer and person Allan is. Singer of countless hits. Luv Bus Stop to this day.

[@phk2000]

The 60s were brilliant. I was just a kid but the memories.......... And The Hollies were a great part of the music scene.

[@mrboyban]

I love The Hollies! ALLAN CLARKE is an absolutely legend!

[@tommadane3550]

Yes he is a legend. Hollies are the one of the best bands in music history.

[@ericmokry4038]

Love Allan Clarke and one of the all-time great band Hollies. Will be celebrated and loved forever!

[@roberthayes9842]

The Hollies were part of my childhood and I loved them, great hits, but Long Tall Woman is a timeless classic that sounds just as good today as when it came out, brilliant band

[@KathleenWalker-w4m]

I am 74 now and this video made me cry with the happy memoies .Life has been good and one of the things that made it good was the music

[@johnstalberg9983]

Glad he was so successful. He deserved it-what a nice guy.

[@ArthurLockwood-e8c]

Great bloke. Sorry Suzanne. My favourite hollies song from nelson Lancashire 👌

[@davidporter5324]

A brilliant and fascinating interview. Will always value the Hollies' music because it helped to keep me going during my student days.

[@AlexanderPaterson-qr4dr]

Thank You for the interview Sandy, and Thank You to his son for getting him back into the studio in 2019 & recording "Resurgence" and Thank You to Allan & Graham for collaborating on the "I'll Never Forget". My fave solo set by Allan was and still is his "I Wasn't Born Yesterday" set. As a fan I met Allan twice, a thorough gentleman and nice guy.

[@kevinjohn725]

My friend went to school with Alan and nash. In Salford. His name is Alan Cooper. Happy days.

[@MargaretChivers-mm9md]

Adored the Hollies saw them many years ago in Gloucester.was about fifteen then.Great band.

[@brendaroseblade2858]

He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother, is my favourite, I choke when I hear that, my brother died four years ago.

[@alanmusicman3385]

I have queued this to watch later so if this is covered in the video- apologies upfront! What is quite incredible to me is that nobody has (SFAIK) properly remastered the Hollies hits and all we get of hits like "Bus Stop and "I cant Let Go" are esentially two or four track transcriptions - which reduce a lot of those very powerful hits to kit-form! It takes me about 30 seconds to do a stereo width reduction on those tracks to play them and they sound so much better than the 100% separation versions that get issued - but a professionally done remaster of all of them would be so welcome. Those tracks have all sold in their millions and they deserve the respect of a remaster.

[@snakemansnakes1]

and hopefully no pitch correction

[@InstantKarma1970]

Great Questions Even Better Listener

[@noneoyfb3569]

Great interview. Just hope the music industry don’t try and pitch correct Allen and The Hollies beautiful vocals.

[@alanflint7732]

I remember seeing the Hollies on Top of the Pops and thinking "Who is that singer?" The voice and the style wasn't like anyone else. The performance was so authoritative. Almost like "This is the way this is done." Blew me away. Thank you for the songs, the feelings, and the memories.

[@jeandodd873]

Pure love connect and bring us together as brothers and sisters. We are all indeed connected in many life times. This earth planet is our temporary home to learn and progress to become a better person; all scriptures and great people have revealed to us. The soul is the symptoms of life/consciousness; without the soul we called death of the body. The soul is the living force and eternal. Illness, diseases are pertaining to the physical body NOT the eternal immortal individual soul. Fire, water, weapon, suicide, euthanasia, diseases CANNOT kill the soul.
