Celebrating the new official signed, limited edition book, Buddy Holly: Words of Love, LEPAA, Genesis Publications and The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation announce an evening dedicated to the life of the legendary musician.
The world’s leading experts, archivists and special guests will be sharing their knowledge of Buddy Holly and revealing rare memorabilia. Charles Esten, star of the hit series Nashville and the London West End production of Buddy, will be performing a selection of Holly’s iconic songs. The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation will welcome a new Ambassador to the organization and, in recognition of work supporting the Foundation, the recipient will be presented with a unique guitar on stage – a replica of Buddy’s own 1943 Gibson J45.
