Cliff Richard and The Shadows to tour one last time

Cliff Richard and The Shadows have announced they are to reform for a final tour. On the face of it, you may scoff, but man, these fuggers have created some of the best 45s... and some of the most IMPORTANT 45s this country ever did see. Even if they did have that dorky little dance routine.

Cliff and Hank will get it back on with Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett, who originally split in '68. Before then, they left us with the killer 'Dynamite' and 'Move It'. The Shadows man, they gave us 'Apache' and the freaky-instro 'Scotch on the Rocks'. Over for a couple of videos for reappraisal and the tour dates.

Cliff And The Shadows will play:

London O2 Arena (September 25-26)
Nottingham Trent FM Arena (30)
Birmingham NIA (October 3-4)
Cardiff CIA (6)
Liverpool Echo Arena (7)
Glasgow SECC (9)
Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (12)
Sheffield Arena (14)
Manchester Evening News Arena (17)
