Was watching Royal Variety Show last night when Cliff and The Shadows made an appearance.

Thought how well Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch had aged,thought to myself they must be about the same age and yet they looked a good 10 years younger than Cliff.Turns out that Cliff is only 1 year older than Bruce and Hank.

Not having a go at Cliff(honest)but whatever Hank and Bruce are using I'll have some.

Where was Jet Harris? ? ? ...I do know the answer, as there was a double page spread about him 2 weeks ago in The Mail,but I know none of you read The Mail.

Personally I think Jet should be there,as he has never said a bad word about Cliff. Even though Cliff has admitted to having an affair with his wife.

Having been a Cliff and the Shadows fan since 1958, but never being able to afford to go to a Cliff show, I went with my husband a couple of years ago to see Hank Marvin on stage in Skegness...............and talk about being in the presence of greatness! Hank put on a fantastic show, I just wish that Cliff and the rest of the Shadows had been there as well. I remember 2 great records by Jet Harris and Tony Meehan, "Scarlet O`Hara" and "Diamonds", alas we don`t hear them played anymore.

I went to the Cliff concert at the SECC a few weeks back and was lucky enough to be in the second front row. Cliff has aged a bit I have to agree. His skin looks as if he's had too many years in the sun! Still, he looks really good for 68. His voice is still fantastic and he can still dance!! He's playing in Glasgow next October with the shadows. Haven't got my ticket.....yet! Unforunately, I missed him on the variety performance. Forgot it was on.
