Get ready to rock and roll to the rhythms of Buddy Holly and swing to the classic sounds of Motown at the Grove Theatre.
Thursday sees Buddy Holly – A Legend Reborn at the Dunstable venue for one night only, with all the hits from the artist’s short but stellar career.
Special guest in the show is original ’60s golden boy Jess Conrad, who was discovered on the early ’60s TV show Oh Boy! before going on to forge a successful career on the silver screen and the West End stage.
The musical stars Marc Robinson, the UK’s number one Buddy and brings to life classic hits such as Peggy Sue, That’ll Be The Day and Oh Boy.
Backed by a band that evoke The Crickets in their ’50s heyday the show promises an authentic slice of rock ’n’ roll nostalgia that ensures Buddy’s incredible legacy of unforgettable hit songs lives on.
Music fans are in for another treat on Friday when the Magic of Motown comes to the Grove.
Celebrating 50 years of number one hits, the show features 36 massive chart-toppers from The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Martha Reeves, Lionel Richie and more.
“Sixties classics give way to present-day masterpieces from Lionel Richie and Diana Ross,” says producer Michael Taylor. “Sadly, many of the original Motown legends are either no longer with us or longer touring.
“The Magic of Motown is the nearest you’ll get to authentically capturing their incredible musical legacy in a live show.
“Our young cast is able to reflect the exuberance and excitement of these songs as they were originally performed.”
