BUDDY Holly and the Cricketers are back in Gloucestershire for another cracking show on Thursday, April 13 at the Stroud Subscription Rooms, George Street, 7.30pm.

For a quarter of a century, this breathtaking show has rock ’n’ rolled audiences across the globe from Cardiff to California, Barking to Bangkok and Swindon to Sweden and is guaranteed to have everyone singing along to the music and dancing in the aisles.

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 show rarely pauses for breath and is, quite simply, the most compelling concert of its kind. The hits just keep on coming - That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Heartbeat, It Doesn’t Matter Anymore, Raining In My Heart, Oh Boy! – and much, much more.

The group has received outstanding acclaim, Graham Norton calling it “Buddy brilliant” and The Stage reports of how “The audience were dancing in the aisles and roaring for more”.

Whatever the season, whatever the excuse to party, make your Heartbeat a little faster with the show that has thousands of fans around the world saying: “I can’t believe it’s not Buddy!”.
