Buddy Holly in Swindon: Oliver Seymour Marsh who plays Buddy Holly at the Wyvern Theatre

 

With opening night tonight, we went down to meet Oliver Symour Marsh, who plays Buddy, to see how he feels about playing such a rock and roll legend.

 

"It's a great musical and if you love Buddy it's two terrific hours of Buddy Holly’s greatest hits including: That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, True Love Ways, Oh Boy, Heartbeat, and many more," Oliver told us.

 

"It's great playing the character, and I'm looking forward to playing in Swindon all this week."
