New Hollies album!
Throughout 2005, the band has been hard at work recording an album of brand
new songs. This project is important and exciting. In fact the boys have
postponed a Summer Tour of The United States so they can concentrate wholly
on the album, although the band will perform at previously planned
prestigious summer festivals and concerts in Europe and England.
The Album will feature a host of major songwriting talent from both sides of
the Atlantic and is scheduled for release in February 2006. Several songs
are penned by Rob Davis, who along with The Hollies' Ray Stiles, was a
founder member of the British band MUD. Rob won a Grammy award for writing
the Kylie Minogue hit; "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".
He has also had hits with Will Young, Enrique Iglesias, Rachel Stevens,
Gareth Gates and many more.
There are several other fantastic songs written by A1's Mark Read.
Co-writing some of the songs is the legendary Lamont Dozier who wrote such
classics as: 'Reach Out I'll Be There' and 'I Can't Help Myself' by The Four
Tops. He also wrote 'Baby Love' and 'Where Did Our Love Go' for The Supremes
and more recently 'Two Hearts' for Phil Collins. Other co-writers are Cliff
Masterson and respected artist/producer Greg Alexander
The Hollies will return to The Royal Albert Hall, London for a performance
on the 28th October 2005, during their UK Autumn concert tour. They will
perform as many of their classic hits as time will allow - plus selected
brand new tracks from their forthcoming CD - which will be released by EMI
on February 20th 2006 prior to 'The Hollies Spring Tour'. The title on the
new Studio Album will be "Staying Power".
As a taster, two promotional tracks - 'Hope' and 'Shine on Me' - will be
issued on September 26th.
The first single, a beautiful ballad, will be released on February 6th in
time for Valentines Day.

Peter Howarth is joining The Hollies for the autumn tour.
The Hollies were all shocked and saddened by the sudden death of their
friend and colleague Carl Wayne. It was Carl's wish for The Hollies Autumn
Tour to go ahead as scheduled and for The Hollies great songs to continue to
be performed live.
For the Autumn Tour, The Hollies are very excited that Peter Howarth will be
joining them. Like their old friend Graham Nash, Peter was born in Blackpool
and for many years has sung with Cliff Richard. He was also co-writer of the
West End Musical 'Prince of Sherwood Forest' and recently has starred in two
National Tours of 'Only The Lonely', the Roy Orbison Story.
The Hollies look forward to seeing their fans again this Autumn.

Carl Wayne, leadsinger of The Hollies from 2000 - 2004, died on August 31st 2004.
"It's a very sad day for me. I've just learned that Carl Wayne passed away, following a long illness.
My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, his son and all of his family.
The world has lost a great singer, with a great voice - A true professional.
I know The Hollies and all of their fans around the world, will miss him.
He was a true Hollie!"
