Celebrate the music of pop music pioneer, rock 'n' roll influencer and all round music legend Buddy Holly, expertly delivered by the incredible singer-songwriter and guitarist Sunjay.
In the spring of 2017 Sunjay was invited to play Buddy Holly in the touring theatre show Buddy Holly & the Cricketers. UK wide, Sunjay wore the horn-rimmed frames, the dinner suit, bow tie, talked Texan and traded in the acoustic guitar for a Fender Stratocaster! In fact the first song Sunjay learned to sing and play was a Buddy Holly song (Peggy Sue), and being in the stage show gave him the opportunity to sing some of his favourite numbers night after night, in front of hundreds of people; a dream come true you might say! Having worked up a great repertoire of Buddy Holly songs Sunjay was inspired to record the aptly titled Sunjay Sings Buddy (also featuring some of the stage show band members who have become firm friends) released on 1st December 2017.
Don't miss out on what will be a fantastic evening of live music ... and whilst not pre-empting the setlist, we're fairly certain Peggy Sue, That'll Be the Day, Oh Boy and Heartbeat will be on the menu .. along with many more classics!
