About this event

Tribute tour marking the 60th anniversary of 'Apache'

It’s hard to believe it’s over 60 years since Hank B Marvin, Bruce Welch, Jet Harris and Tony Meehan recorded Apache. This was the monster hit that launched the Shadows’ instrumental career and founded a nation of bespectacled guitarists dreaming of acquiring their very own Fender Stratocaster, so we are delighted to welcome ‘The Bootleg Shadows’ on their first visit to The Acorn Theatre.

With their immaculate appearance, synchronised dance movements and clean, pure melodic sound, the Shadows chalked up 35 hits of their own (not counting another 33 hits with Cliff Richard), giving them more hits than any other British group and securing them a unique place in the annals of popular music.

‘The Bootleg Shadows’ perform a show that encompasses the Shadows’ amazing career from 1960 up until the early 80’s. All the hits and popular “Cliff” vocals, including some surprises!

Concert audiences are invited to relive fantastic hits such as Apache, Foot Tapper, Man of Mystery, Atlantis, Wonderful Land, Kon Tiki, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina, FBI, plus many, many more.

In the company of Geoff, Keith, Tony, Tim and Binks, the audience is taken on a tour of the Shadows’ career, with plenty of humour to make it a night out to remember. For anyone who loves the sounds of the 60’s – and enjoys a few laughs on the way – ‘The Bootleg Shadows’ perform a unique tribute that has audiences humming the tunes and doing the Shadows’ famous ‘walk’ long after they have left the theatre.
