Dean Rogers & The Shadows

Hi - I'm new to this forum - thanks for having me!

I'm researching a little known singer from the Potteries called Dean Rogers. He was on the bill with the Shadows a few times around 1961. However I'm trying to get specific dates. I have seen one very rough screen shot of art of a Shadows programme (I will try to attach it -but it's really poor quality, sorry - can't find another clearer image of this particular programme - just about readable and might spark some brain cells for someone!). On that bill are: The Red Price Combo; Terry Marsh; Chas McDevitt & Shirley Douglas; Frank Ifield; The Dallas Boys; Dean Rogers and The Shadows. But there is no date. Can anyone help me with dating this show please?

It might well be part of the February/March 1961 tour. But another similar looking programme from that tour (the red cover one) has a different line up (Trebletones; Tony Marsh; Brooks Brothers; Frank Ifield; Patti Brook and the Diamonds; Dallas Boys & The Shadows). Dean Rogers might have been on only some of the tour. Irritatingly, promoter Arthur Howes reused the programme designs for a given tour but never dated them.
Any dates of The Shadows tours and supporting line ups in 1961 would be helpful.

Did anyone see The Shadows shows with Dean Rogers? If so, any memories?

Many thanks for any help with this.

Roger

This may well not be a fully comprehensive record, but Dean Rogers appears on some of the listed billings found by scrolling down the page...

He also had a brief recording career on Parlophone and HMV...
