He could well have gone on to be the biggest star of all time, not my cup of tea but a true musical icon.
Off to see a tribute show for all the guys that died (Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper) on Friday night. Happy Days

Don't knock it, jack.
I remember going to watch my daughter in a stage version of Grease at St David's HS in Saltney about ten years ago and it was absolutely brilliant.
Kids today are so confident about performing on stage - much more than I remember when I was at school

At least they're doing something and not just sitting around criticising the work of others eh?

ha, just to clarify, i was in the show! i had what was classed as a 'lead role' but how lead can you be if you arent buddy holly?
At the time of writing, things looked a bit bleakin the end, they were really top drawer performances, really good production. Good fun to be involved in.
I know what you mean about the kids, 187 in total in the show, always nice to see something involving so many people come together.
