Background

When Allan Clarke Decided to leave The Hollies February 1st 2000,
after a big Hollies Tour, The Hollies wanted to find a new Leadsinger.
So Carl wayne came in the Group, and replaced Allan Clarke as Leadsinger.

Carl Wayne played with Keith Powell & Valets in 1964. From 1965 to 1966
Carl Wayne and Vikings, and from 1966 to 1969 Carl Wayne played with The
Move
(with Roy Wood and Louis Clark).
Jeff Lynne from ELO replaced Carl wayne in The Move, when he wanted to go
solo.

Carl Wayne has performed a lot of Records, TV and stage World-Wide from 1970
to
1999, notably as "The Narrator" in The London West End Production of the
Award
winning Musical "Blood Brothers".

Carl Wayne say: I applaud Allan Clarke's extraordinary contribution to the
success
of The Hollies over many years and his dicision to leave for Personal
reaseon is
admirable.

I can never replace Allan Clarke, he WAS The Hollies during their Hit-making
Peak.
Allan was the Heart, the Soul and the Voice of The Hollies for many many
years.

I look forward to a successful association with The Hollies and although I
acknowledge
their for midable musical reputation, I feel this is a new stage in their
illustrious
career.

Whilst respecting what has alreade been achieved, I am not joining The
Hollies just
to make up the numbers.

The year 2000 and forward gives us the opportunity to move forward and
rather than
constantly refer to the past, there now exists enormous potential to record
and
succeed with new material.

Carl's next appearance on rekord will be as a special guest on EMI's
forthcoming remastered edition of Electric Light Orchestra's "ELO 2" album.
