'Oh Boy' what a great day! 

A Chocolate Theatre Society perform Buddy Holly songs for Swindon Cultural Festival

 

'Oh Boy' and 'That'll be the day' were just a few of the songs on offer at the start of inSwindon’s Cultural Festival at Wharf Green in Swindon Town Centre.

 

A Chocolate Theatre Society performed live songs from their recent hit musical “Buddy.”

 

 

"We didn't let the rain dampen our spirits," commented Suzy Johnson, Marketing and Events Officer, inSwindon.
