Buddy Holly with The English Rock and Roll Orchestra

In 1958, Buddy Holly & The Crickets played 25 venues across England back to back from 1st to 25th March (playing two or even three shows a night) and performed at Newcastle City Hall on 6th March 1958. The American singing sensation also headlined a variety bill hosted by ‘the comedian with the modern style’, Des O’Connor.

 To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Buddy’s only ever visit to our shores, the UK’s first and best-loved Buddy Holly act, Buddy Holly & The Cricketers, revisit some of the same venues on the same dates in 2018 with a very special show backed by the English Rock and Roll Orchestra.

 Buddy Holly & the Cricketers have thrilled audiences all over the world for more than quarter of a century and featured some of the finest international actor musicians in the business. So don’t miss out on the concert of a decade. Make your Heartbeat a little faster with the show that has thousands of fans the world over saying:  “I can’t believe it’s not Buddy!”
