 ERIC HAYDOCK November 1997
Following a Court ruling, ex-Hollies' bass-player Eric Haydock has been forced to drop any significant reference to his former group "The Hollies" in his promotional material and to pay substantial legal costs. Another order containing similar terms has been made against Haydock's manager, Jim Cozens. Having left The Hollies in 1966, Eric Haydock has tried to establish himself on the 60's circuit by trading on his former association with The Hollies. From now on though, he will be able to refer to himself only as an "ex-Hollie," or "formerly of The Hollies", providing that any reference to The Hollies has no greater prominence than the name Eric Haydock on promotional material of any kind. This judgement is hopefully the end of a dispute which has been going on for about 6 years. The Hollies' manager, Jimmy Smith, said that he is delighted with the outcome, "The band are all pleased to bring the matter to an end. The whole issue needs to be looked at. There are too many people in the music industry unfairly trying to trade off their history."
