As the influential drummer from iconic rock‘n’roll band The Hollies, Bobby Elliott has six decades worth of musical anecdotes. Continually touring since 1963, his adventures have seen him beating Keith Moon in a drumming audition, being serenaded by Joni Mitchell while she was in bed with Graham Nash and being offered a job by Paul McCartney to work with Wings.
Covering all such stories as well as exploring Bobby’s personal highs and lows, It Ain’t Heavy, It’s My Story is a funny, honest and enlightening account of sixty years on the frontline of rock ‘n’ roll.
“Bobby Elliot refreshingly retains the wide-eyed wonder he felt in rising from Lancashire coal pit drudgery to drumming in one of the most successful bands to emerge from the 60s beat boom” Classic Rock
