Bernie Calvert

Bernard Bamford Calvert (born 16 September 1942) is an English former musician who played bass guitar with The Hollies from 1966 until 1981.

However, unable to advance his musical career, Calvert took a factory job until he was asked to substitute for Hollies' then bassist,[4] Eric Haydock, in a tour of Scandinavia.

In 1981, Calvert left the band after they started working with The Shadows rhythm guitarist Bruce Welch as their producer.

[8] In early 1969, Calvert was in a "session supergroup" called The Bread and Beer Band, that featured Elton John, Caleb Quaye, Roger Pope, and Lennox & Rolfo.

[11] They were represented at the RRHOF ceremony by Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, Sylvester, Haydock and Calvert.
