Buddy Holly: The Making of an American Legend

5 months ago 14th Jan 15:06

Exhibition runs from: 29th January 2009 to 26th April 2009

Fifty years on from his tragic and untimely death Proud presents the greatest collection of unseen Buddy Holly images ever compiled, showing exclusively at Proud Central.

Described by critics as the single most creative force in early Rock & Roll, Holly pioneered a style that resonates far and wide – counting luminaries such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan as devotees.

This exhibition will celebrate the star’s immense talent and shine new light on his short life, as seen through the lens’ of a collection of photographers including Lewis Allen, Harry Hammond, Bill Francis and more.

An absolute must for both photography and music fans ‐ this will be the only chance to see the ultimate Buddy Holly collection, which will not tour after its time at Proud Central.
