Looking for musicians to recreate '59 Cliff & Drifters album

[JetBlack]

Hello folks
New member (but experienced bass player) here looking for the impossible.

I would like to get together with a vocalist, two guitarists and drummer to form a gigging band that initially plays all the tracks from the first Cliff album. (Apron Strings, Move it, Whole Lotta Shaking, Drifting, Jet Black, etc, etc.) Later we could add early shadows instrumentals to the repertoire like Guitar Boogie Shuffle, FBI, Shazam, Sleepwalk, Find me a Golden Street and others like those.

I would prefer to be Surrey based but will travel further for the right situation.

I have Fender Jazz Bass, Trace Elliot SMC 715 GP7 150W Bass Amp & transport. (AND no wife & kids to hold me back, lol)

Any ideas, suggestions or takers, please contact me.

Hi Brian,

Terry Bryant from the Sussex Shadows Club gave me a "heads up" regarding your postings. We have alot of such players attending our monthly meetings so why not come along and see. Our next meeting will be on Friday 18th October where the backing band will be The Silver Shadows who play many of the numbers you mention. Terry Bryant, who plays great lead guitar for these songs, is also hoping to get along.

Cheers,

This is an annual Shadows Music concert organisied by Shadowmaniacs France, with whom we are twinned.
