About the artist

The Crickets

Buddy Holly, the bespectacled rock 'n' roll icon, may have been cut tragically short at the age of 22, but his impact on music continues to reverberate through the ages. With his distinctive hiccupping vocal style and innovative guitar playing, Holly helped shape the sound of the 1950s and beyond. Holly burst onto the scene in the late 1950s with his band The Crickets, releasing hit after hit, including classics like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day." His unique blend of rockabilly, country, and pop proved to be a winning formula, earning him legions of fans and establishing him as a true pioneer of rock 'n' roll. But Holly wasn't just a talented musician - he was also a bit of a fashion icon, with his trademark thick-rimmed glasses and slicked-back hair setting him apart from his contemporaries. And let's not forget his quirky sense of style, with his penchant for quirky patterns and bold colours. Despite his untimely death in a plane crash in 1959, Buddy Holly's legacy lives on in the countless musicians he influenced. From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, his impact can be heard in the music of artists across genres and generations. So next time you find yourself bopping along to a classic rock 'n' roll tune, give a tip of your hat to the one and only Buddy Holly.
