Allan Clarke from The Hollies

Allan Clarke, frontman for The Hollies, chats to Johnnie about his 70s memories and brand new album.

As one of the founding members and the original lead singer of the Hollies, Allan Clarke's voice is instantly recognisable. In the 60s and 70s, the band had a fantastic run of chart success, with Allan also writing hits such as the classic Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.

Fast forward to today and Allan is back with new material. He's recently reunited with his Hollie bandmate Graham Nash, for the first time in decades, to release a new album.

Elsewhere on the show, Johnnie will take a look at This Week in Music with the help of the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Archives, as well as a new addition to Johnnie's Jukebox and another listener-chosen BTO - Better Than (the) Original. Plus, all your dedications, requests and memories.
