Hi....just wondering if anyone can help me get a Shadows t-shirt. I have looked around the net and only managed to find one at a price of £18 inc postage.....a bit steep for me really.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Size wanted: XL or XXL

Thanks

To be honest, given the prices of officially-merchadised T-shirts, that really doesn't sound so steep, especially if it includes postage.

I paid about that for a "Les Paul At The Iridium Club" T-shirt in New York a few months ago, and I think that my brother-in-law paid that price (£18) for a Cliff/Shadows Reunion T-shirt - as a present for me - last October at a concert.

Have you checked what might be available (unofficially) on eBay?

See:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLIFF-RICHARD-T-SHIRT-Expresso-Bongo-Shadows-/250594532733?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Men_s_Clothes&hash=item3a58991d7d

That's an "Expresso Bongo" T-shirt, but the seller might be persuaded to print a different record cover for you if you can send him the file.

Thanks for that.....i have emailed the seller of that t-shirt to ask if he can do a Shadows one. I don't want Cliff on it you see. I trawled ebay yesterday and found nothing Shadows wise!!
Anyone else have any sites or ideas?

Jason - I know a guy who was selling some old official merchandise (including t shirts for Hank / Shadows tours) on behalf of Mel Bush, who used to be the promoter - and he is very reasonable to pay. It's worth dropping him a line to see what he has left. I'll PM his email address to you.

If you want a SHadows EP or LP cover on the shirt, you can copy one from here:

Bob - I think that this website isn't up to date and manned regularly - hence my recommendation to contact the guy I know directly (who actually goes to Mel Bush's warehouse periodically). He was able to get me a couple of bits and pieces featured on this website - but actually at a lower price than that advertised on the website. He wasn't able to locate some of the items featured on the website.

Thanks guys. I have emailed your friend Bernie so awaiting a response.
I have mailed the guy on ebay and he can do me a wonderful land shirt (my fave track actually) so i can get one of those in my size. Hopefully i can find someone to make me one online.
Keep the advice coming guys and once again thank you.
:D

I was thinking of buying some of that iron on printer paper and making my own Shadows t-shirt :)
