Big Buddy Holly and the Croquettes

  • Settle Victoria Hall 24 Kirkgate Settle, England, BD24 9DZ United Kingdom (map)

Part ‘Tribute’, part ‘Parody’ and part-time. 

From an alternate universe, we bring you Big Buddy Holly, The Hiccupping Hillbilly, Ukulele Sensation, with his loyal and crusty backing band, The Croquettes.

Big Buddy Holly & The Croquettes perform some classic tracks of the late ’50s from ‘Peggy Sue’ to ‘Your Cheating Heart’, all authentically recreated for the Electric Ukulele, drums and bass.

Featuring John Archer (Big Buddy Holly) on electric ukulele, Tim Smithies (Slim Tim Bantam) on drums and percussion, and Jake Smithies (Jake The Shake) on scorching hot slap bass.

If you like your Rock ‘n’ Roll with a barnyard full of tongue in cheek and a trailer full of smiles, then this is the ‘Hootin Annie’ you’ve been waiting for. Put on your sneakers and get ready to Jive.


You are my new favourite band
— Tim Vine
I love it.
— GEORGE HINCHCLIFFE (Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain)
