The day the music died sang American singer Don McLean. He was referring to the 3rd February 1959 when a plane carrying Buddy Holly, 'The Big Bopper' and Ritchie Valens crashed into a snow covered field in Iowa. Born in Texas, Buddy mixed his own style of rock’n’roll with country music to create the original sound that would establish him as a legend in popular music.

Since its debut in London’s West End in 1989, ‘Buddy’ has thrilled audiences world-wide with classic songs like That’ll Be The Day, Rave On, Peggy Sue, Chantilly Lace and La Bamba. With the aid of a talented cast of actor-musicians Ovation is proud to present the first fringe production of The Buddy Holly Story.
