Cliff Richard: The Shadows sell out Perth gig


There are plenty of passionate Cliff Richard fans in this town, with the musical legend's Burswood Dome concert alongside The Shadows sold out.
Fans have been starved of the chance to see the band live since 1961, resulting in unprecedented demand.
Today, a second concert was announced. The band will be playing again on Sunday February 7.
Legendary guitarist Hank Marvin, who plays in The Shadows, lives a mostly quiet beingness in East Perth, but will certainly bust out some hot tunes during the tour.
It is 50 years since Cliff Richard and The Shadows got together. This Australian tour, billed as their Final Reunion, will bring them back to Oz for the first time since 1961.
Promoter Paul Dainty said there had been "unprecedented need for tickets for this tour. Cliff Richard and the Shadows have not been to Australia since 1961 so it's been a long wait to look this legendary band".
Tickets for the Sunday February 7 show go on sale on September 17, from midday.
