HE looked more like an insurance salesman than a rock 'n' roll singer.

Yet, nearly sixty years after his untimely death, Buddy Holly is still regarded a sone of the 20th century's most influential musicians.

He burst onto the scene with songs such as That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue and Raining in My Heart.

Born in Texas, Buddy Holly produced some of the most distinctive and influential work in rock music. Already well versed in several music styles, he was a seasoned performer by the age of 16.

You can catch a flavour of the great man when Buddy Holly & The Cricketers come to the Regal Theatre in Minehead.

This breathtaking show which has rock ’n’ rolled audiences where ever they have appeared, is guaranteed to have everyone singing along to the music.

It stars some of the finest actor-musicians in the UK, whose combined West End credits include Buddy, Lennon, Forbidden Planet and Jailhouse Rock and was endorsed as Britain’s most popular Buddy Holly act when the boys guested on BBC One's Saturday night live programme, The One and Only, hosted by Graham Norton.

The hits just keep on coming - Heartbeat, It Doesn’t Matter Anymore, Raining In My Heart, Oh Boy! – and much, much more.
