ABOUT
There can be little doubt as to the huge impact Cliff Richard and The Shadows had,
and the enormous contribution they made to the world of Rock and Pop during the
late 1950’s and throughout the 1960’s.
They were undoubtedly the British equivalent of what became popular in the United
States following the huge strides made by people like Buddy Holley and Elvis
Presley.
It could possibly be summed up in the words of Hank Marvin when he spoke out
before the Cliff and The Shadows Final Reunion Concert at London’s O2 Arena in
2009, when he said “… Move It was the first ‘real’ British Rock and Roll song …
and we still love playing it …!” ‘Move It’ was recorded and released in 1959.
This concert is, to a large extent, based on the Cliff and The Shadows Final Reunion
Concert of 2009 in London, which covered most of the biggest hits and most famous
music by these great artists, both vocal and instrumental.
To us, who lived through the years of the great masters of rock and pop during the
60’s, it is an absolute privilege and honor to bring that back to life today with this live
performance, and in doing so, celebrate the greatness of these fine musicians, song
writers and performers.
Cliff Richard and The Shadows, certainly the best of the best!
May their contribution be remembered!
Always!
“The Shadows Experience” band was formed some two years ago.
Known for their versatility, all members of the band are fully professional in their own
right and each have performed in numerous bands and venues around Gauteng,
mainly Johannesburg and Pretoria.
The band recently performed a tribute show to “Cliff Richard & The Shadows”
at the Pierneef Theatre in Pretoria to a sellout audience.
