Learning The Game!-
New digital single release in tribute to Buddy
Holly!

To mark the
50th Anniversary of the tragic death of the
legendary Buddy Holly on 3rd February this
year, Detours have released their first
ever cover version. Learning The Game, which
has featured regularly in their live shows
ever since their first theatre concert back
in 2003. This acoustic studio recording was released as a
digital download single exclusively on iTunes on Tuesday 3rd February,
and will also be released on Tunetribe at a
later date. The
promo video is on
Detours' YouTube
channel, and has received some very
positive feedback by e mail from Buddy Holly
fans in America. As usual, the video has
been edited using archive live video footage
from Detours concert performances over the
years.
