Cliff and Shadows reunion?

[drakula63]

I'll be honest and admit that even I am surprised and slightly saddened by the torrent of abusive messages underneath the Yahoo article that I linked to above. Most of them are, I would have thought, defamatory and yet none of these have been removed. I posted one that pointed this out and THIS was removed! Just read some of them, presented as 'fact', and see what I mean. And this is the mentality of people in 2017 and, more importantly, they are allowed by the moderators to get away with it. As I say, I'm surprised.


Apart from that, Happy New Year.

That's what a lot of people are like! A quick flick through YouTube will show you that Cliff has been the subject of some pretty nasty abuse for a long time before South Yorkshire police decided to raid his flat - having first made sure the BBC were on hand to film it from a helicopter... The one comment about how 'truly awful Cliff and The Shadows were' tallies with the opinion of the majority of people I've come across over the past 40 years. Goodness knows how they were so successful; I've come across very few people (outside of this site) who will admit to liking their music at all...!

They have always kept us guessing because none of them has said "this will not happen again".
But we are simply guessing on the strength of one newspaper's account of a conversation that may or may not have taken place as quoted.
I know other papers have run it too but they have lifted the copy, not made separate journalistic enquiries.
