MAX HOLLIMAN Band Nuneaton band c 1966. Tim James recalls " Another gig with the Max Holliman band, and on my own at The Hilltop & Cadwell Social Club, Nuneaton, Friday 20th June 2003

... a sad affair in that this once bursting club was very quiet - due to a murder on the premises earlier in the year. Sad because this event happened by chance and was absolutely nothing to do with the normal crowd. Anyway, the small audience were appreciative, knowledgeable and well worth playing to." They played the Co-op hall in Nuneaton as Max Holliman and the Demons. Also a reference to Max Holliman and the Guitarnos
