Hollie Steel

As you may know, we have been trying to “Get Hollie Steel a Record Deal” for a little while now, and it seems our wishes may have been answered as Rolf Harris has expressed an interest in singing a duet with the little songstress.

Rolf Harris, who is now an amazing 79 years old, has previously had top 10 hits with Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport; Two Little Boys and  Stairway To Heaven; although my own favourite is Jake the Peg which was voted the fourth best Australian song of all time.

Hollie’s mum Nina Steel, told the Daily Mirror: “We have just heard that Rolf wants to do a single with her.

“It’s a new song that Rolf has written about a grandfather and granddaughter. Obviously, we’re delighted. Hollie would love to record an album, so we really hope this will lead to other things.

“Hollie is a big fan of Rolf, especially when he was doing Animal Hospital.”

The Lancashire Telegraph has furnished a few more details about the song. Written by Rolf, it is called “Opa Jaki”.

Nina said: “It is a very sweet song and we are definitely going to go for it. We are just waiting for the music to come though so she can learn her part.

“This offer from Rolf Harris would be a good opportunity for Hollie and may help her to keep a high profile. We have been contacted by people from all over the world wondering and asking when she is going to do a CD and the support we have had from the public has been great.”

My thanks to Kevin for bringing this story to my attention.
