Rob Quinn starred with Val Doonican, Engelbert Hump erdinck, Dusty Springfield andTom Jones-buthe never craved the fame game.
The 66-year-old Geordie, who fronts Hollies tribute act, The Hollywood Bees, said: “I saw famous artists nearly die under the pressure of fame, and it was definitely not the lifeforme. ' “I’ve seen first hand how
fame can nearly destroy peo ple. Some of them were not happy folk. I never wanted that unhappiness in my life.” Quinn landed a part in the
Black and White Minstrel Show, made it onto Opportu nity Knocks and even turned down a world tour with Mar ty Wilde after he was spotted singing in a North East night-
' club, where he was the resi dent singer.
“The pressure to perform
at the top in music is im mense,” added Quinn, who brings doppelgangers Hol lywood Bees to Clitheroe’s Grand Theatre next month (Saturday, January 18th). “I saw too many victims, some of them who are mega

to the Hollies’original record ings.” Fifty years is a long time
in rock and roll, so have their songs - He Ain’t Heavy, I’m Alive, Look Through Any Window and Carrie Anne - stood the test of time? “I think they have, they are
classics in their own right, al though they didn’t write too many of their own songs,” added Quinn. “The music history books
The Hollywood Bees recreate the sound and feel of The Hollies live on stage “It was certainly strange
supporting the real Hollies, andsomepeoplesaythatthey prefer us, which is nice, but I don’t see it like that at all,” - added Quinn. “Our aim is to bring our interpretation of those won
derful hits, along with some of the music that influenced them, to audiences who love The Hollies sound. \ “The Hollies music was
powerful and distinctive, with catchy melodies, and while some of their music
