It all started this morning when John Sherbourne said on Facebook that he had “designated today a Cliff Richard and the Shadows day,” meaning that for the first time in ages this lack of freedom we are all experiencing had given him the opportunity to work his way through his not inconsiderable collection of Cliff and the Shads CDs.
Fast forward three hours and Steve Scaife, another MBC member old enough to know better also pops up on Facebook not only to comment on John’s original post but, from the comfort of his lounge to perform one of Cliff’s biggest, if in this case wholly inappropriately named hits The Young Ones.
Ever one for a challenge this spurs John into action. First job dust off the old guitar, find a plectrum and dig out one of his seldom used You be Hank backing tracks.
You can see and hear the result of both posts here, first Steve’s and then John’s version of Apache… it may not surprise you that so far neither (particularly John) have been offered any work!
