Former wild man of pop is back in town
Published Date:

PJ PROBY was not only once Elvis Presley's understudy, but was labelled as the wild man of pop when he went solo and scored a string of hits, including Hold Me and Maria.
He was banned from a string of nightclubs after he split his trousers on stage.
Proby may cut a quieter figure when he appears at Buxton Opera House next Tuesday, alongside other 60's pop survivors in 'Oh Boy!! It's The Non-Stop Sixties.'
Also on stage is Chris Farlowe 'Out Of Time' and 'Handbags & Gladrags' Brian Poole with Twist & Shout and Do You Love Me, Vanity Fare with I Live For The Sun and for good measure there is the unforgettable voice of Mike Pender from The Searchers on Sweets For My Sweet and Needles & Pins.
The show starts at 7:30pm.
