THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED ANNIVERSARY – Sunday 12th May

On 3rd February 1959 a tragic accident stopped the world in its tracks. A plane carrying American rock n roll musicians Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson crashed only minutes after take-off in Iowa. The day was forever named “The Day the Music Died” in honour of these three legends who were all so young and talented. They may be gone, but their music will always be celebrated and NEVER forgotten!

Join Mark Caligiuri, Llewie Adie and Joanne Caligiuri on this special day as we pay tribute to these three greats of 1950s rock n roll. With awesome music and great entertainment it’s sure to be loads of fun and a perfect way to spend Mother’s Day!
