Norman Petty On Buddy Holly (Light Programme?)

[Gary Critcher]

lads, I'm gradually going through a ton of quarter inch tapes left behind when an ex-BBC colleague of mine passed away last year. One of the tapes I'm intrigued by is simply labelled 'Norman Petty on Buddy Holly 1965'. I will get it played and transferred by my friend Keith Wickham (who does a lot of work for Radio 4 Extra) but in the meantime, is there any way of finding out any more info on this programme? Oh, I'm assuming it was a BBC programme.

There are a couple of references online to a tribute programme to Buddy in connection with the sixth anniversary of his death, titled "Wheels" (or The Wheels Show?) broadcast 2nd February, 1965?.

thanks indeed for that, John, it sounds like it, doesn't it?
