The Hollies Biography

Skiffle burst onto the music scene in late 1955, soon to be overtaken by rock & roll. By the beginning of the 1960s, groups were forming and re-forming all over Northern England. One of the most popular was 'The Dolphins', featuring a promising Nelson-born teenage guitarist named TONY HICKS. He was asked to listen to two Manchester lads, ALLAN CLARKE and GRAHAM NASH and he quickly decided to join them. When they found he could sing as well, The Hollies' 3-part harmony was born.
