About this concert
On Saturday 8th February we once again celebrate the music of pop music pioneer, rock 'n' roll influencer and all round music legend Buddy Holly at St. James Church, expertly delivered by the incredible singer-songwriter and guitarist Sunjay and band!
In the spring of 2017 Sunjay was invited to play Buddy Holly in the touring theatre show Buddy Holly & the Cricketers. UK wide, Sunjay wore the horn-rimmed frames, the dinner suit, bow tie, talked Texan and traded in the acoustic guitar for a Fender Stratocaster! In fact the first song Sunjay learned to sing and play was a Buddy Holly song (Peggy Sue), and being in the stage show gave him the opportunity to sing some of his favourite numbers night after night, in front of hundreds of people; a dream come true you might say! Having worked up a great repertoire of Buddy Holly songs Sunjay was inspired to record the aptly titled Sunjay Sings Buddy (also featuring some of the stage show band members who have become firm friends) released on 1st December 2017.
Don't miss out on what will be a fantastic evening of live music ... and whilst not pre-empting the setlist, we're fairly certain Peggy Sue, That'll Be the Day, Oh Boy and Heartbeat will be on the menu .. along with many more classics!

Sunjay Biography
Sunjay is pretty much the antithesis of your typical denim clad dishevelled folk and blues musician. From his perfectly groomed hair to his spotlessly shining winkle picker boots he walks onto the stage every inch the "city slicker". When Sunjay starts to play the guitar and sing, you are transported to a world where blues and country music meld seamlessly amidst humid mangrove swamps and red neck barbecues. Sunjay is, without doubt, the real deal. Sunjay's earliest memories are, as a four-year old, learning Buddy Holly songs from his dad. How ironic it is that he was recently invited to play Buddy in the touring stage show of "Buddy Holly and The Cricketers".
From those early childhood steps Sunjay has in every sense, grown up in public, having performed regularly to ever increasing audiences from the age of seven. Now, still only in his mid-twenties, Sunjay has become a master guitarist, who has crafted his show to perfection. He also has an encyclopaedic knowledge of his music, and a wicked sense of humour.
An evening with Sunjay is an evening of exquisite blues, country and folk music combined with a master class in guitar playing interspersed with hilarious anecdotes....and even the occasional Buddy Holly song. But if he asks you to meet him at midnight down at the crossroads... think twice.
"Sunjay is very much the man of the moment. Not so much the flavour of the month as the flavour of the year." – Living Tradition
"Already creating a stir with talents way beyond his years. A really soothing, natural sound and most definitely destined for bigger things." - Maverick Magazine
“For such a young performer, Sunjay shows real confidence, maturity and ease on stage that it seems like he has been doing nothing else all of his life.” – Folk All Magazine
"A great voice."- Blues Matters Magazine
“He's a wizard on the guitar; I think I'd call it jazz-folk!” – Vin Garbutt
“An amazing picker, a must see.” – Terry Reid
"Listen, watch and take note." - FATEA Magazine
