For his next big project, Holland wants to revive the reputation of a man he never met - his late father-in-law. Rory McEwen hosted Hullabaloo, one of the first ever popular music shows on television, which coincidentally had many similarities with Later... ´It had a house band, with Long John Baldrey, and guests such as the Spinners, Sonny Boy Williamson and Fitzroy Coleman.´
McEwen would play the guitar with his brother Eck in between introducing the acts, he once turned down the Rolling Stones because he thought they weren´t good enough. Holland wants to get the shows reissued on DVD. Recently, Holland and Christabel had dinner with Paul Simon, who remembered Hullabaloo. ´They both agreed that it was the first music show on television to feature non-mainstream music and that its great strength was that Rory could both introduce and play with the guests. At this, Christabel said, ´That´s odd, I think I´ve married my dad´. Paul Simon shrugged in a very New York Jewish way and said, ´You wouldn´t be the first girl to do that.´
