‘Cheeky humour and romance, innocence and defiance play their part, as Weeks’s Holly leads the show in all-action style, his singing and guitar playing top notch, while Joe Butcher’s constantly on the move stand-up bass player Joe B Mauldin and Haberfield’s drumming delight too.
Through the second half, the love-at-first-sight story of Buddy and record company receptionist Maria Elena (Daniella Agredo Piper), with her premonitions of Buddy’s fate, tugs at the heart strings like a Buddy Holly ballad.
Then, the fateful last night of a badly organised tour at the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, as Christopher Chandler’s Big Bopper and Miguel Angel’s hip-swivelling Ritchie Valens share the spotlight with Weeks’s inexhaustible Holly’
Thanks to @Charleshutchpr1 for the kind words!

This is from THE WAIT, a short film from 2018, with @PoppyRoe and Mike Burnside. It was written and directed by @JasonMcColgan.
And it broke me.

My son got to work as an extra on set.
After kissing him goodnight that night and turning off the light:
Son: Hey daddy?
Me: Yeah baby?
(beat)
Son: Coruscant is real. I’ve been there.
Me (teary eyed): Yes you have baby.
Best day of my life.
Thank you Star Wars Universe 🙏🏽
