Take a magical trip back in time with Buddy and the Blackcats...

Back to a time when Rock and Roll was raw and a lot of fun.

‘Buddy’ is backed by the BLACKCATS - a four piece band incorporating Bill Hillman on Lead Guitar, Rex Harris on Bass , Gail Kellie on Keyboards/Rhythm Guitar and Adam Harris on the Drums.

They not only provide great music, but also supply the fantastic harmonies that Buddy's Crickets were famous for.

This is a totally live show, no backing tracks or drum machines,

Every song is how it was meant to be played, ’’live.’’

Bring your dancing shoes because if you can't dance to Buddy and the BLACKCATS then you just can't dance

The Australian Buddy Holly Show

Good Morning New Zealand - TV One

Bill’s family emigrated to Australia from the United Kingdom in the 50s and although young bill was sent to university to study agriculture he fell under the spell of rock n roll and quickly swapped his text books for music and took up the guitar and began to play in nightclubs, and discos from one end of the country, to extensive overseas tours with world class artists. Bill is equally at home with all forms of music and his repertoire is very impressive. Bill is also proficient on the bass guitar and is also a skilled musical arranger. When not playing music Bill devotes his time to helping mentally challenged young people live independent lives.
