The Fabulous Shadows Golden Greats Tour http://www.thefabulousshadows.co.uk

Sorry - wrong end of the country!
Would love to see a Review by one of our Forum members of this band. We se all the commercial puffing,asee all the gear but have no idea whether it translates in the "playing" to a decent "Tribute".
On a purely personal level, I think the name a bit of a sneaky Con. I think if the MC announced "Ladies And Gentlemen, we are proud to present the fabulous Shadows" I would expect, Hank, Bruce, Brian and MArk to be behind the curtain. Most Tribute bands have enough imagination to come up with a name that "reflects" who they are impersonating, not pretending, by default, to be them.And don't give me the "its all in aid of Charity" line either - it doesnt excuse it.
Good luck with the Show.

Thank you for the comments Ian...there is alway one isnt there...!!

The Shadows are called The Shadows.. or so it says on all of their record releases...... not The Fabulous Shadows
The Beatles are called The Beatles..or so it says on their records......not The Fab Four.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds are called The Fabulous Thunderbirds

You are entitled to your opinion..if you read our advertising you would not expect to see Hank Bruce Brian and Mark
...he was not in The Shadows from 1959 / 1966..our name certainly reflects whoose music were are playing and paying money to The Shadows for doing so through PRS.

We are keeping The Shadows music live and helping a very good cause...I find it quite sad that you can not give any good comments on this forum , perhaps that is your lack of imagination......and I quote...

u]"use what talent you possess-the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best[/u]"

We can never be or replace The Shadows..what we can do is enjoy there music in all its interpertations and play our shows the best of our ability....we take our audience back to the 1960s and have a really good time doing so, hopefully everyone enjoys it.
Thank you for the good luck..its sad you feel this way.
Ritchy Rich..The Fabulous Shadows
