Reunion - Cliff - how arrogant

[damart]

I'm not a Yank. But I do preside in the town where the Ventures started.

Tito Burns wasn't a Yank either...

Neither is George Geddes...

Hi All,

I have just watched "An Audience with Ciff Richard" (recorded from ITV3). Judging from some of the comments it was made about 10 years ago!
Bruce Welsh was in the audience and there was some banter between BW and CR, about money and "who made who". And it was clearly that - banter. It was good natured and both were laughing about the comments.

A bit niaive maybe, but it did occur to me, that if there was a real problem between CR and the Shadows, BW would not have been there.

What has gone on between then and now . . . who knows.

Regards

Brian

Can I just say that I thought the recent Paul O'Grady interview with Cliff/Shads/Cilla was one of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever seen. I watched it last night with a friend, also a huge Shads fan, and he agreed. They all seemed to be having a great time and the whole thing was engrossing. Loved it. Sorry, but there we are...

As Harry Hill would say............

"Cliff or The Shads";........"The Shads or Cliff............".

"I wonder - which one is better??"

"Mmmm, there's only one way to find out ----- "FIGHT........!!"

Well I'm going to stand up and say exactly what I think, no matter who gets upset: "I hate eating cold custard!".

So there . . . anyone want a fight with jelly and a treacle covered cosh? Nothing wrong with me . . . nurse - the screens . . .

Brian - its "Welch" ! LOL!!
I saw the prog too and it was clear that they were on good terms. The "who let you in?" gag led into some (contrived) gags about how much The Shads were paid in the 60's. All harmless fun. The prog must be at least 5 years old as Sir John Mills and Jeremy Beadle are no longer with us. Incidentally, the opening "Move It" was a real Rocking version with (John Clark??) giving it some Welly on a green Strat from stageside - the guitar was "screaming" on full OD and feedback - awesome sound and superb playing.
Following on from this, the Reunion DVD has a nice, all too short, behind the scenes section and it is clear that all the guys are having a good time - STILL!!
cheers

Hi Ian,

Sorry about the mis-spelling, I written his name many times, hopefully most of them were spelt correctly.

You mention the lead guitar, ?John Clark?, I've been trying to find his name, thanks for that. I particularly like the way he did "It'll Be Me" on the 40th Anniversary concert (if you haven't seen it it's on YouTube).

Happy New Year to you.

Regards

Brian
