That's from the I'm sure very interesting (but not reviewed by us) 1963 Brit film It's All Over Town; the song itself was the B-side of the lads' wonderful version of Maurice Williams' oft-covered hit "Stay."
An early Graham Nash-Tony Hicks tune, apparently. I should also note that the drummer is original guy Don Rathbone, who was replaced soon after by the incomparable Bobby Hicks for all the Hollies's subsequent classic hits.
Pretty amazing, no? And damn -- what are they, like 12 years old in that scene?

That's a nice early Hollies number. It's included on the nice 3 cd compilation "The Hollies 30th Anniversary Collection."
Great stuff. Leather clad Graham Nash- ha!
Nice. Tony Hicks is a vastly underrated guitar player.
I've got to say there is nothing quite as unintimidating as a bunch of black-leather clad British mods on motorbikes.
Nice song, though
That's ... grand, on a buncha levels. Can't repost it to my Facebook feed though, b/c only the promise of multiple and various Graham Nash screengrabs would motivate the geezers who paid it any mind at all. And here there's but that one profile angle. To me that was a major plus, but go know.
A contemplative image, meanwhile:

Is this from a Hollies movie, or are they just bit players in the movie?
Where does fit in timeline with Beatles "Please Please Me"?
