Chris Weeks

‘Cheeky humour and romance, innocence and defiance play their part, as Weeks’s Holly leads the show in all-action style, his singing and guitar playing top notch, while Joe Butcher’s constantly on the move stand-up bass player Joe B Mauldin and Haberfield’s drumming delight too. Through the second half, the love-at-first-sight story of Buddy and record company receptionist Maria Elena (Daniella Agredo Piper), with her premonitions of Buddy’s fate, tugs at the heart strings like a Buddy Holly ballad. Then, the fateful last night of a badly organised tour at the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, as Christopher Chandler’s Big Bopper and Miguel Angel’s hip-swivelling Ritchie Valens share the spotlight with Weeks’s inexhaustible Holly’ Thanks to @Charleshutchpr1 for the kind words!

@Nick_Metcalfe @147Kathi This looks bloody great

Here's what the revamped Crucible will look like. I'm pleased with this. Only took me 20 minutes. #Snooker #Crucible

@TAFKASB Lovely blast from the past, thanks SB

Thanks to the great guys at Break-Off for allowing me to step back in time. More of a sonnet than chapter and verse, but a World Championship Preview by yours truly nonetheless. break-off.com/anvisiert/anvi…

@HarrisonThomas_ This is such a fantastic theory. So well thought out!

1/5 Well, I don't want to speak out of turn, because I didn’t write the show. But… it's been a minute, I get asked this a lot, and I am a fan - so... chalk this up to a fan theory. First off, I think Lyle worked at a different Los Pollos Hermanos than Cynthia. (cont.)

@davidlowemusic2 These videos are so interesting, David! More to come, I hope

Grand Designs on Channel 4 is about people's dreams and life long ambitions to build their own home. This is how I composed the Title Music - a fairy tale story in just 15 seconds #Grand Designs #MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #25Years #Anniversary #BehindTheSong

@mrdavidrowe Wonderful thread, I’d never seen these gorgeous artworks. Love this adaptation and re listen yearly - Ian Holm is always the standout for me and I look at his Bilbo differently as a result! Another place to find it is here: soundcloud.com/l-ent-il/tolki…

The BBC Dramatisation of LOTR was my 'wardrobe' into Middle-earth. Plus I was born on a Saturday night in the Spring of 1981, and my Dad listened every Sunday, so it may be my first literature experience! Here is a thread of the lovely artwork by Eric Fraser, for the Radio Times.

Consumer journalism “absolutely, manifestly, directly impacts the lives of our viewers.” Watch @MartinSLewis' rousing speech from last night’s RTS Television Journalism Awards, where he won the RTS Special Award @MoneySavingExp #RTSAwards

This is from THE WAIT, a short film from 2018, with @PoppyRoe and Mike Burnside. It was written and directed by @JasonMcColgan. And it broke me.

@exitthelemming @PoppyRoe @JasonMcColgan Wow.

@cruciblecrush @WeAreWST Higs Ronnie 2006 Masters Final. Was at the afternoon session and watched the evening at home. Assumed snooker was always like that!

I’m playing a gig with my trio at the legendary Crazy Coqs in Soho on Monday 27th November! Sit back with the perfect cocktail and enjoy an evening of awesome vintage tunes - jazz, blues, rock and roll and country. Grab a ticket and come on down! brasseriezedel.com/events/chris-w…

This is happening tonight. And at the Schubert theatres on Broadway. It has never happened before. I am so proud. whatsonstage.com/news/theatres-…

@philhaigh_ I think you can tell Judd’s confidence from his facial expression on the shot…for the last couple of years he’s looked afraid of the balls, but when he’s feeling good he looks almost cocky, which is how he’s starting to look!

Judd Trump picks up back-to-back ranking titles, beating Ali Carter 10-7 to win the Wuhan Open. Amazing stuff after winning the English Open in Essex a week ago. £220,000 won in two weeks. 25 ranking titles now on the CV. Back in the hunt to be world #1 again. Ace.

Great chatting to @chrislweeks who plays Buddy Holly in @BuddyTheMusical which is coming to @New_Theatre this September. It’s a great show which we highly recommend. Listen to our chat with Chris here.. open.spotify.com/episode/23i0oO…

Chris's role helps Buddy Holly story not fade away! It's @EdenCourt this week and @chrislweeks talks about why he loves to take to the stage in Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story and sing as 'this quiet revolutionary who changed the world'. whatson-north.co.uk/whats-on/news/… @BuddyTheMusical

@HastingsKim @BuddyTheMusical Thanks Kim, glad you enjoyed it! Definitely try to get down again!

Just seen the afternoon show with @chrislweeks and damn! This is one of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of shows! Can't help but get swept along with the music, totally brilliant. Going to try and get more tickets before it moves off! @BuddyTheMusical
