They Ain't Heavy, They're The Hollies - Episode 2

Brian Matthew presents the second and final part of this profile on The Hollies, a group formed nearly fifty years ago but still very active today. This episode follows the band after the departure of founding member Graham Nash. The group talk about the massive 70s hit, The Air That I Breathe, working with Elton John, and the departure and arrival of band members old and new. The story is brought up to date with the release of their most recent albums Staying Power and Then, Now, Always. There are also comments on their recent induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. The programme features specially recorded interviews with Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, Tony Hicks, Bobby Elliott and Bernie Calvert, along with Ray Stiles, the group's bassist since 1986 and co-producer and engineer of their recent album, plus current lead vocalist Peter Howarth.
