SEASON FINALE!
The Buddy Holly Story
Saturday 27 June 2026
Doors/Bar 6.45pm Film 7.30pm
THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY bursts off the screen with an energy most music biopics can only dream of. Powered by Gary Busey’s astonishing, Oscar‑nominated performance — a turn so committed and alive it practically redefines what a musical biographical film can be — the film captures the raw spark of early rock and roll with irresistible charm and authenticity.
The movie charts Holly’s meteoric rise with a mix of grit, humour, and emotional punch, weaving his creative battles, his groundbreaking sound, and his sheer determination into a story that feels both intimate and mythic. Critics praised how deeply it involves the audience, noting that it stands out in a genre often prone to formula.
The music — performed live on set — crackles with life, giving the film a thrilling immediacy. It’s no exaggeration to call this one of the greatest music biopics ever made: bold, heartfelt, and utterly electrifying.
PLUS! As it’s our season finale, we’re keeping the party firmly in the rock ’n’ roll era — once the credits roll, we’ll push back the chairs, fire up the bar, and spin a stack of classic tracks. Get ready to twist, jive, and dance the night away!
