“An Evening With Tommy Allsup & Kevin Montgomery”

Tommy Allsup former guitarist with the Buddy Holly Band and Nashville Tennessee based musician Kevin Montgomery bring their show “ An Evening with Tommy Allsup and Kevin Montgomery” to the Aspinall Arms on Sunday 8^th June 2008 (Sat 7^th June also)

Back in 1959, guitarist Tommy Allsup lost the flip of a coin with Ritchie Valens for a seat on a plane, and the rest as they say, 'is history'. It was the ill-fated Buddy Holly plane which went on to crash shortly after take-off, killing Buddy, Ritchie and the Big Bopper.

Tommy was the guitarist with Buddy's band on songs like 'It's So Easy', 'Heartbeat' and 'Wishing' which of course explains his link to Kevin Montgomery. Kevin's dad wrote 'Heartbeat' and 'Wishing' with Buddy, back in the days before The Crickets, and Kevin has always featured those songs, along with others, in his set when he tours in the United Kingdom.

'An Evening with Tommy Allsup and Kevin Montgomery' will begin acoustically with Kevin and Tommy, playing, singing, sharing stories, and even taking questions from the audience. For the second part of the show they will be joined by Danny White on bass and Paul Griffith on drums to help rock through some of the songs on which has Tommy played during his life-long career.

After Holly's death, Tommy Allsup went into producing the great Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and worked with the likes of Willie Nelson, Bobby Vee, Johnny Burnette, Julie London and Vickie Carr and played with and produced Asleep At The Wheel.

This is an un-missable opportunity to see one of the all time great guitarists together with one of Nashville's finest singer/songwriters.
