Buddy:The Concert is coming to Port on Saturday, August 6, 2011 and tickets are selling fast.
Buddy Holly was one of the greatest pioneers of Rock and Roll in the ’50s, a career spanning only two short years, but bringing with it a wealth of material that made a lasting impact on popular music.
Donning his trademark horn-rimmed glasses, his ever so engaging and charismatic figure and a lilting vocal hiccup… Scott Cameron returns to the role that made him famous, presenting Buddy: The Concert.
The Concert will see Scott belt out Holly’s catalogue of songs whilst also performing the tracks that shaped the ’50s culture from artists including Bo Diddly, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Eddy Cochran and more.
It will see Buddy and the band styled back to the days when they were just three young guys having fun and playing the music that shaped that era.
He’ll be performing a string of hits by the legendary artists that were close friends and brought with it a strong significance to Buddy’s career including close friend of Buddy, Eddy Cochran; Roy Orbison (who recorded at the same studios as Buddy), Bo Diddly (Inspired Buddy), Elvis Presley (Inspired Buddy, also close friends – so much so that Buddy made Elvis a leather wallet), Bobby Fuller Four (Buddy and Sonny Curtis wrote both their hit songs: I Fought The Law and Loves Made a Fool Of You), Bill Hayley and the Comets (Buddy covered their song Shake Rattle And Roll), Chuck Berry (who Buddy toured with several times just after the Apollo Theatre performance) and Richie Valens (an artist Buddy wanted to manage and work with before the plane crash).
The second set represents Buddy and The Crickets with all the class and showmanship that they were renowned for. Performing a collection of all of Buddy’s hits including That’ll Be The Day, Rave On, Oh Boy, Maybe Baby, Heartbeat, Peggy Sue, Well All Right, Everyday, Not Fade Away, True Love’s Ways and It’s So Easy, just to name a few.
