Bruce Welch visits Surrey Shadows Club

[Bob Withrington]

Wow!

All of us Surrey Shadows Club were absolutely thrilled that Bruce Welch took time to pay us a visit last Friday (20th May). He was in very good form and pleased to meet and chat to everyone, at what was a typically well attended meeting. The highlight of the evening was Bruce playing "Please Don't Tease" along with Don Crisp (vocals), Terry Bryant (lead), Chris Kenward (drums), Eric Pole (bass) and Bob Dore (keyboards). Marvellous!

Our resident photographer, Tony "Ironside" Rodrigues took well over 200 photographs, which we shall be using to produce a Newsletter Special.

Wow!

I was at the Surrey club when Bruce visited a few years back. As many folk have said before, a real gentleman. He didn't play that evening, but took time to chat to everyone. But did anyone have a camera that evening? Or even just a phone with an inbuilt camera? No!

Hi Ken,

Unfortunately I was away on holiday when Bruce Welch visited the Surrey Shadows Club for the first time. I am not aware of any photographs being taken but if there are any in existence we would be pleased to receive copies.

Cheers,

Hello Everyone,
Is there any chance that some photos of Bruce at the Surrey Shadows Club could be posted on here or are they available to view on another site??

It's not every day you get to play lead alongside the best rhythm guitarist in the world, so, as you can imagine, I had a fabulous evening! This more than made up for my missing Shadowmania last year for the first time due to illness.

'Please Don't Tease' is a great number wot Bruce wrote which went to Number 1 for Cliff and we had great fun performing it.
