The 2009/2010 Cliff and The Shadows “Final Reunion” World
Tour kicks off in the UK in September 2009 and arrives in South Africa in
March 2010.
It was in 1959 that Cliff Richard first recorded and performed with The
Shadows. In 2009, exactly 50 years later, Cliff and The Shadows will be
back on the road – twenty years since they last performed together in
concert.
Cliff and The Shadows (Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian
Bennett) dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and
early 1960s, enjoying both solo and joint success. Between them they
achieved no less than 19 number one hits including Living Doll, Bachelor
Boy, Summer Holiday, The Young Ones, Apache and Wonderful Land. They
appeared together in the movies ‘Summer Holiday’ and ‘The Young Ones’,
from which came million-selling hit singles and albums.

From 1968 both Cliff Richard and The Shadows pursued
individual careers. Throughout the 70s and 80s The Shadows toured
regularly and enjoyed Top 10 successes, often competing with Cliff for the
number one spot. Cliff went on to achieve huge worldwide success as a solo
artist, scoring the most Top 10 and Top 20 hits in the UK singles Chart.
He remains the only UK artist ever to achieve a Number 1 single in five
consecutive decades!
