In March 2008 Johnny Rogers and Tommy Allsup toured the UK remembering
the 50th anniversary of the Buddy & The Crickets tour from 1958.
They had a lot of gigs and they attended a BBC Radio Show with Spencer Leigh.
Brian OConnell aka THEOKIE from the discussion board of the official BH website,
closed down in January, 2008, sent me some fine pics from the show.
Thanks for sharing, Brian!
Hello Hans,
I am attaching some photos I took at the BBC Radio Merseyside show with Spencer Leigh.
I was amongst the invited audience. I got Tommy and Johnny to autograph my Waylon and Buddy poem books.
I have a tape of the programme if you would like a copy sometime, I can get you one.
Cheers, Brian aka Theokie
Brian OConnell war lange Zeit einer von denen, die mit mir mit viel Enthusiasmus auf der offiziellen Buddy Holly Webseite gechattet haben. Er wurde in dieser Zeit ein guter Freund, denn wir beide haben ein gemeinsames Hobby: Buddy Holly, Buddy Holly . .
Die Seite gibt es nicht mehr, Maria Elena Holley kündigte den Vertrag mit CMG. Wir sind alle traurig, aber hier, auf dieser Fanseite, lebt Buddy weiter, und fast jeden Tag wird es mehr, was es von und über Buddy and friends zu berichten gibt.
Hier erst einmal ein DANKE von Herzen an Brian, den ich bis dato als "Theokie" kannte.
