Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent, together with British heartthrob Billy Fury, came in from the United States in 1960 for the UK’s first multi-artist rock’n’roll tour. The on-stage antics shocked the audience. The audience erupted in applause. It was the birth of British youth culture! Relive these landmark performances with amazing vocalists and a band as tight as your tightest drainpipe pants. And there’s more: Buddy Holly’s live concerts were also instrumental in bringing rock’n’roll to the United Kingdom.
Be Bop a Lula is a genuine doozer of a stage spectacle, with Cochran’s famous guitar riffs, Vincent’s menacingly gloomy stage presence, Fury’s scorching eyes and soaring vocals, and Holly’s good-time rock’n’roll songs.
