March 11, 1958 – Following a performance in Birmingham, England, a review reads: “Buddy Holly, leader of the group, is a studious-looking young man who totes his electric guitar like a sawn-off shot-gun and carries around a giant-sized amplifier which even made the Town Hall organ pipes flinch. Mr. Holly is 70 per cent of the act. He plays and sings with brash exuberance, and adds a few Presley-like wiggles which had the teenage audience squealing with delight. The rest of the group consists of a bass player whose ability was lost in the noise and a drummer who plays with sledge-hammer precision.” @buddyholly #ROCkabillyHop #buddyholly #TheCrickets #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll Source: @BuddyHollyCtr
