He mentioned The Shadows, Cliff, Norrie and Peter Gormley (who was his manager as well as Cliff and The Shadows). He performed several of his hits although I suspect he was miming as they sounded exactly like the records - but just to see him and hear the songs was quite something. Afterwards he signed my Babes in the Wood LP (Music and lyrics by The Shadows) and we chatted about his guitar with a scratchplate the shape of Australia! What a lovely guy! he looks amazing...and he's going to be 80 in November!
