An excellent tribute show by Geoff Barker last night in the BBC South and West area last night.
Here are his notes:
On Sir Cliff`s 78th birthday, we mark that and the 60th Anniversary of Cliff and the Drifters/Shadows teaming up for the very first time.
Classic hits, b-sides, rarities and some live tracks.
PLUS! From my own interview archive, Cliff, Hank, Bruce... and Jet, talking about their early days and how it all started for them.
Hear it on iPlayer here https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/p06m0kth and scroll to 57 minutes in.
Cliff speaks with pride about the band's influence in the early days and how good they were.
Geoff is a big fan and produces a great weekly rock 'n' roll show with his vast knowledge and professionalism.
