Today it's exactly 40 years ago that Cliff Richard & The Shadows performed during the Royal Variety Performance, with The Shadows playing "Apache" and Cliff Richard & The Shadows playing and singing "Willie And The Hand Jive" and "We Don't Talk Anymore". I think this was the last time that Cliff and group performed together on this particular event, having previously done it in 1960, 1962 and 1964. Hank of course was a special guest during Cliff's spot on the Royal Variety Performance in 1995, duetting on the "Hank Plays Cliff" version of "Move It". Did Cliff Richard & The Shadows also perform during other editions of this event, apart from the years I just mentioned?
