, "He was only 22 when he died, and had already had a string of hit records and a number one in America and Britain with 'That'll be the D a / in 1957. "He would have been a true rock and roll mega-star."


Marc, who mirrors


Buddy with a masterfui performance, added: "Buddy is often described as the most influential of the early rock and roll musicians, and John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles said that his music was a great influence on their writing. "His music had a timeless feel


to it, and when we play the shows it is amazing how many young people come along who are discovering Budd/s music for the first time. 'The giri who runs the Buddy


Holiy fan ciub in England is just 23, and at one show last year a guy turned up with a photograph of him with Buddy


Holly when Buddy toured England shortly before he died. "We've got peopie of all generations who love the


music and what Buddy stood for." When he acquired the


tailor made Holly suits, huge homed rimmed giasses and of course the iegendary Fender Stratocaster guitar, Marc Robinson's Tribute to Buddy Holiy was born. Now he tours the nostalgic


tribute act aii over the world, and Marc added: "I loved rock ' and roll music at school, and Buddy Holly was one of my heroes. "His music was my hobby, and now I'm living the dream


singing his hits and helping to re-create that incredibie era. "It is a very exciting show


, and the audiences have been veiy eiithusiastic - if you love


' rock and roll, then you'll like this."


Marc, an accomplished actor,


appeared in the cuit sci-fi fiim ' the.Fifth Element, and on


"Eastenders", "Casualty" and "Dangerfield". One of his proudest


morinents, he said, was appearing at the London Palladium, where he followed in Budd/s footsteps. "Buddy played a Sunday


Night at the London Palladium in 1958, so to go there as Buddy and sing his hits was incredibly speciai. "We also did Giastonbuiy


- there was an awful lot of mud - but we got a great reception, and that was very special too." Buddy Holl/s Winter Dance
