Saturday 4th September 7.30pmTHE BOOTLEG SHADOWS

This year The Shadows celebrate their 50th anniversary so we’re delighted to welcome The Bootleg Shadows to The Civic Hall. In 1960 Hank B Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris and Tony Meehan recorded ‘Apache’, launching the Shadows’ instrumental career. With their immaculate appearance, synchronized dance movements and clean, pure melodic sound, the Shadows chalked up 35 hits of their own (plus another 33 hits with Cliff Richard), giving them more hits than any other British group.

The Shadows make few live appearances but The Bootleg Shadows keep their ‘Live’ sound alive by performing a fantasy concert encompassing the Shadows’ amazing career from 1960 up until the early 80s including ‘Foot Tapper’, ‘Man of Mystery’, ‘Atlantis’, ‘Wonderful Land’, ‘Kon Tiki’, ‘Don’t Cry for Me Argentina’, ‘FBI’ and many more. You’ll be humming the tunes and doing the Shadows’ famous ‘walk’ long after you’ve left the theatre.
