THE COUNTERFEIT CRICKETS
|
Having split with his first group, Bootleg Buddy, Marc went on to form his own band The Counterfeit Crickets. They soon established themselves as the No. 1 Buddy Holly Tribute Band in the UK, after which success across Europe quickly followed.
The whole band perform in authentic Crickets attire and, together, they produce a sound that is completely authentic and emulates the genuine recordings of Buddy Holly & The Crickets. For example, the percussion on Everyday is played by the drummer slapping his knees and on Not Fade Away it is played on a cardboard box, just like the originals. Marc's uncanny resemblance to Buddy goes beyond the horn rimmed specs and Fender Stratocaster to a voice as close to Buddy's as can surely be possible. And, not only is Marc's voice similar to Holly's own, but it has been noted that his phrasing of the song lyrics is spot on. It is this kind of attention to detail that has brought him praise from all over the UK and beyond. The band offers a range of sets that can run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. In fact, a full evening's entertainment can be provided if required, complete with other tribute artists. Check the Tour Dates page for their next gigs, or get in touch if you would like booking info. |
