After returning unexpectedly from a 20 year retirement with successful comeback album "Resurgence" in 2019, the voice of The Hollies, Allan Clarke, is back with a stunning new record. "I’ll Never Forget" reunites Allan with his old Hollies bandmate, Graham Nash of Crosby Stills & Nash fame.
The 2 old friends from Manchester began writing together during the pandemic after over 40 years, resulting in the effortlessly catchy "Buddy’s Back", a tribute to the rock'n'roll great The Hollies were named after.
Graham’s beautiful trademark harmonies are present throughout the album, but this is very much Allan’s record, tackling spirituality and redemption as well as romance in "The Presence Of You", the 1st love song Allan has written for his wife Jennifer, the 'Jennifer' in The Hollies’ classic Jennifer Eccles, after 59 years of marriage.
