Buddy Holly & Friends suits couples who want their wedding to spend real time with fifties rock and roll rather than touch it for one song. Melbourne's Ron Kingston leads the one person show through That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Rave On, Oh Boy and Everyday. The selection widens to the Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, Big Bopper and Bill Haley, carrying more of the decade into the room. It's presented as a fun celebration with songs guests across generations may already know. The dance floor is where Rock Around The Clock, La Bamba and Johnny B Goode should have their turn.
Watch Buddy Holly & Friends perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

One man, a guitar and the whole of 1950s rock and roll. It's a fun show rather than a reverent one, and the songs have outlasted everyone in the room, which is rather the point. Guests who grew up with it get the originals played straight, and the ones who didn't tend to know more of the choruses than they expect. Timeless is a big claim, but this material has earned it.
A power point. That's genuinely all. The PA speakers and the lights come with the show and plug straight in, so there's no production to hire and nothing for your venue to organise beyond finding a socket near where you'd like the performance.
Buddy Holly's own songs anchor the show. Peggy Sue and That'll Be The Day, of course, then Heartbeat, Everyday, Oh Boy, Rave On and It's So Easy. Around them sit the records that shared the charts with him. Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock and Shake Rattle And Roll. Wake Up Little Susie and Bye Bye Love from the Everly Brothers. Chantilly Lace, Donna, La Bamba, A Teenager In Love. Then Elvis with All Shook Up and Blue Suede Shoes, and Johnny B Goode to finish the era off. There's more where those came from, and the running order shifts depending on the room.
