AUS DER WERKSTATT AUF DIE BÜHNE: HOLLIES-BASSIST BERNIE CALVERT WIRD 80
- Sep 28, 2022
Bernard Bamford Calvert spielte Anfang der Sechziger Piano bei Rickie Shaw and the Dolphins. Dort hatte er bereits mit Bobby Elliot (dr) und Tony Hicks (g) zu tun. Hicks, der ihm empfahl, an den Viersaiter zu wechseln, holte ihn wenig später zu den Hollies. Erst ersetzte er lediglich den Stammbassisten Eric Haydock auf einer Skandinavientour und spielte die Hit-Single "Bus Stop" mit ein, wurde dann aber 1966 festes Hollies-Mitglied. Calvert blieb bis 1981. Sein Ausstieg wurde mit musikalischen Differenzen mit Produzent Bruce Welch begründet.
Am 16. September wird Bernie Calvert 80 Jahre alt.
Bernard Bamford Calvert played piano with Rickie Shaw and the Dolphins in the early sixties. There he was already involved with Bobby Elliot (dr) and Tony Hicks (g). Hicks, who recommended that he switch to four-string, brought him to the Hollies a little later. At first he merely replaced regular bassist Eric Haydock on a Scandinavian tour and recorded the hit single "Bus Stop," but then became a permanent Hollies member in 1966. Calvert stayed until 1981, his departure being attributed to musical differences with producer Bruce Welch.
On September 16, Bernie Calvert will be 80 years old.
