CLIFF AND THE SHADOWS TRIBUTE CONCERT TOUR
BY “THE SHADOWS EXPERIENCE”
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 Holly 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 tour 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 honour 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 highly successful Cliff and The Shadows
Tribute Concert Tour to the Western Cape, where they performed at venues in
Somerset West, Hout Bay, Tiger Valley Barnyard Theatre, Muizenberg,
Stellenbosch and Grand West Sun Complex in Goodwood.
This was followed by an open air “Music in the Park” performance at Silver
Lakes Golf and Wildlife Estate in Pretoria, and several other venues.
The musicians are:

privilege of backing the likes of “Crocodile Harris” of “Give me the good news” fame
as well as Zayn Adam of the Pacific Express band of “Give a little love” fame just to
name a few of the big names in the music industry.
