At the end he was left speechless. He choked, deeply affected by the sincerity and enthusiasm of his two admirers. He said he wanted to base his main character on Hank! For many weeks they were on three Singles in the charts at the same time. It was No. Never mind the tunes, I say, look at the cover! Here, in all its glory, is the very item I now had in my hand…. When they were composed, he must still have been fibbing about his age in order to be able to work the hours he did with Cliff! But if you could wear a picture out by looking at it, this would certainly have been the case. Note the marks showing that it was later pinned on the bedroom wall. I sailed into my teens bopping round the kitchen with the EP cover parked on the top of the fridge and the publicity photo for the next Single propped up next to my homework on the table. I can assure you that by this time things had begun to get very serious, as far as I was concerned. It might surprise them to know that they also contributed to the classical education of young ladies in the leafy suburbs of . One sleepy afternoon our bouncy young Latin teacher bounced into class and woke us all up by writing just one word on the blackboard:. It seemed to say it in a nutshell. With FBI about to hit the charts, Cliff and The Shadows completed another nationwide tour of relentless, consecutive one-nighters:. Did I buy it? Have a guess! In March , Cliff and The Shadows flew first to Bulawayo, where fans were waiting for them to arrive. Again the response from the fans was overwhelming. Royston Ellis quotes them as saying:. Cliff got into a big red Lincoln Convertible, and we clambered into a Chevrolet. It was just like something you see on the films! A large police motor cycle escort roared along the road beside us. For six miles there were crowds lining the road all the way into town. Banners and signs were hanging from overhead bridges and the crowds were cheering and waving. By the time they left the country, the South African Top Ten contained no less than 8 tracks with or by the Shadows:. They lined the route into the city centre, hung out of the windows of tall buildings and climbed up lamp-posts for a better view. It was an absolutely unbelievable sight. Stardom brought the shock of virtual imprisonment in their hotel. Cliff tells the story:. It was getting very hot and Bruce , Hank , Jet and Tony , to say nothing of me, were anxious to go off for a swim, We were able to make a bargain with a reporter from the Johannesburg newspaper. I wanted to stop at a camera shop, but within seconds the news had got around and hundreds of girls came streaming down the street towards us. We made a quick dash back to the hotel and I spent the morning and afternoon sun-bathing on the roof. That was the only place left to go. This photograph shows the kind of thing they were looking at in the street outside their hotel; but while in South Africa, they also had their first uncomfortable encounter with apartheid. Notice the policed gap, with black fans allowed at the back. The audience reaction was tremendous. We appeared in one of the shanty towns outside Johannesburg, where the living conditions of the inhabitants were horrific. They had their own spot in the show, closing the first half, with a performance that has been immortalised on the The Shadows at the Colosseum Johannesburg EP. Below is a photo of my own somewhat worn copy of what later became a much sought-after item. No doubt purists will note that some of the YouTube videos show later additions to the line-up…. This priceless gem of a record was originally released only in South Africa, but it became the absolute pride of my collection, having been acquired for me by a South African friend who went home for the school summer holidays. Thank you so very much, Vivienne McCarthy of Sutton! Immeasurable thanks for my golden memories of these days are also due to the aforementioned beat poet, biographer, and travel writer, Royston Ellis, who co-wrote with The Shadows the book that has been the source of so much material here. This rare bit of footage shows The Shadows, possibly while they were still called The Drifters, backing Royston on stage in Sad to say, The Shadows by Themselves is no longer in print and can rarely be bought second-hand.

As far as we were concerned, this was the Angel Gabriel and friends who included Buddy Holly, by the looks of things , dressed as James Dean, soooper cool and making magic as they played. Apache remained in the charts for an amazing 21 weeks, got The Shadows their first Silver Disc, then a Gold, with more than a million copies sold. Norrie had been right about The Shadows breaking into stardom by playing instrumentals. Just before they released Apache , he suggested that they got someone to handle their affairs, as a separate act from Cliff. He introduced them to an Australian, the unassuming Peter Gormley, who was at that time also managing Frank Ifield. At first it was all a bit of a joke that The Shadows had knocked Cliff from the No. He was, after all, their boss…. Take a look at this video where Cliff is impersonating Hank! In those days, Cliff was being managed by Tito Burns, who had little regard for what he saw as a temporary backing- band. But Cliff himself was always very supportive of The Shadows, regarding them all as a unit, and, indeed, playing the Chinese drum that gave Apache such a unique introduction. We were five lads together, sharing almost everything. By that time, of course, Jet already had a screamy fan- base and fan-mail of his own. The season ran from June until Christmas, but despite the fact that they were in the No. Says Bruce :. Shadowmania was starting to get a nationwide grip. Not all Shadows Fans were quite that posh, but Shadowmania was definitely on the rise. Two wildly keen fans from Southend, who wrote to Bruce wherever they played, eventually presented him with a 47,word letter that outlined their adventures in following them everywhere. He read it through without being able to put it down. At the end he was left speechless. He choked, deeply affected by the sincerity and enthusiasm of his two admirers. He said he wanted to base his main character on Hank! For many weeks they were on three Singles in the charts at the same time. It was No. Never mind the tunes, I say, look at the cover! Here, in all its glory, is the very item I now had in my hand…. When they were composed, he must still have been fibbing about his age in order to be able to work the hours he did with Cliff! But if you could wear a picture out by looking at it, this would certainly have been the case. Note the marks showing that it was later pinned on the bedroom wall. I sailed into my teens bopping round the kitchen with the EP cover parked on the top of the fridge and the publicity photo for the next Single propped up next to my homework on the table. I can assure you that by this time things had begun to get very serious, as far as I was concerned. It might surprise them to know that they also contributed to the classical education of young ladies in the leafy suburbs of London.
