I believe i'll change my post to reflect your statement <br /><br />That's great to hear that they are still playing and active and that you're visiting my page from Australia!<br /><br />Thanks for your feedback!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612902016398817264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34547785.post-90469200480182853752012-03-03T19:02:47.717-05:002012-03-03T19:02:47.717-05:00It's great that this music is still being play...It's great that this music is still being played. However, I think that Cliff Richard and the Shadows would be amused to be described as a "surf instrumental" band as England has never been a country with a significant surfing culture. Perhaps they were marketed that way in the USA. I'm in Australia, which has a big surf scene,but The Shadows were never seen as a "surf band" here , but as a rock instrumental band with a very distinctive sound. You might be interested to know that Cliff Richard and The Shadows completed a 50th anniversary world tour in 2008-2009 and they are all still active in the music scene.
