Former Hot Chocolate lead singer Greg Bannis, dad of Holly, who has followed in his footsteps, talks exclusively to Andrew Atkinson in a Leader Exclusive.
GREG Bannis has seen his name in lights, having been the lead singer for Hot Chocolate, after replacing Errol Brown in 1992.
Now, Murcia based Greg, says Holly, who appeared as Tina Turner in TV series ‘Starstruck’, has the best job in the world.
Holly has been touring Europe in Tina Turner and Whitney Houston tribute shows, ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’, and ‘Whitney Queen of The Night’.
“I saw Holly live with the backing of a full band, doing the ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’,” said Greg.
“It was an OMG – Oh, My God, moment for me,” said Greg.
“She has really grown into Tina, just about one year after being discovered on ‘Starstruck’,” he said.
“I also saw her in Benidorm Palace, doing Whitney,” said Greg, lead singer with Hot Chocolate, until 2010.
“She gets better every concert, and I am really proud,” said Greg.
Greg still performs, with concerts in Spain, including the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida regions, as well as in Europe, but is taking life a little easier relaxing in Murcia.
“Now, I am taking a backseat – and letting her get on with the best job in the world !!!,” added Greg.
*Another Greg Bannis Leader Exclusive next week, following the release of his New album ‘Reggae Reggae Man’.
