Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with  The  Hollies  in the new millennium.  The legendary, former lead singer Allan Clarke has now left The Hollies (but still very much active in the music scene) was replaced with Carl Wayne, ex lead singer of The Move.  The sad news is Carl Wayne has now passed away to that great stage in the sky, God is a lucky guy, he will be entertained greatly. Carl is now replaced by Peter Howarth. Despite the line-up changes throughout the years, the Hollies have always managed to put out great music with the trademark Hollies three part harmony.  One of the best and most successful bands from their birth professionally in 1963 to the present day.  They are celebrating , this year,  their 45th Anniversary of still charming audiences all over the world.  Also in today's line up is, Ian Parker on keyboards, Ray Stiles (Ex Mud, remember 'Tiger Feet') on bass guitar and last but not least, long term Alan Coates on guitar and vocals has now been replaced by Steve Lauri.
