CELEBRATED tribute act Buddy Holly and the Cricketers will be ringing in the Yuletide festivities in true rock ‘n’ roll style at Hartlepool’s Town Hall Theatre on Wednesday 6th December.

Called Holly At Christmas, this sparkling show is packed with Buddy Holly’s hits, other contemporary classics plus some Christmas crackers all wrapped up in a fast, furious feast of entertainment which makes the perfect treat for all the family.

For a quarter of a century this breathtaking show has delighted 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.

It stars some of the best 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 tribute act when the boys were guests on BBC One’s Saturday night live programme The One And Only, hosted by Graham Norton.
