    About this ebook

    As the influential drummer from iconic rock 'n' roll band The Hollies, Bobby Elliott has six decades worth of musical anecdotes. Continually touring since 1963, his adventures have seen him beating Keith Moon in a drumming audition for Shane Fenton and the Fentones, being serenaded by Joni Mitchell while she was in bed with Graham Nash, and being offered a job by Paul McCartney to work with Wings.

      Junior Brown’s Bar-Band Virtuosity

      Feb 8, 2022

      JUNIOR BROWN IS what I would call a bar-band virtuoso. What is that, you might ask? Fair question. To me, it’s an artist who thrives in a 200-capacity (or less) venue, one who, along with putting on a great show, never comes close to taking more than

      Tremendous book of recollections backed up by facts. Interesting to learn of how things were in the 1960s and 70s in particular, well written too.
