Tony Hicks

In this TV performance of The Hollies playing Shot Down on TOTP, Tony Hicks can be seen playing with his Danelectro Baby Sitar. Tony would acquire this particular guitar in the early 70s, possibly 1971, and would use this song throughout the early to mid 70s, first appearing in The Baby. But Tony would use this guitar on other songs such as the one in the video. Though the guitar itself would not be used after the 70s, as in the 2000s, Tony is playing a more modern, hybrid version of the baby sitar guitar, with effects that allows the guitar to both sound like his banjo and a sitar, which also replaced the banjo that Tony would normally play.
