HAITI RELIEF GIG

Here at Cliff…As If we have been quite shocked at some of the awful images of those poor people who are having to suffer the effects of that terrible earthquake last week in Haiti, and through Facebook I have been promoting the work of TEARFUND who are active in the midst of this sad situation. I am pleased to announce that I have been contacted to be a part of a musical tribute show by a group aiming to raise much needed funds for the relief effort. The show will include the UpBeatles, Elvis, a group of Dancers and your truly, and it is being hosted by Bill Brookman who has worked in Haiti on behalf of the United Nations.

The show is at the Newfoundpool Workingmens Club Beatrice Road Leicester LE3 9FJ Tickets: £5. Contact: 0116 262 7230

Please come along and help us with raising as much as we can and also treat yourself to an evening of great music and fun.

God bless Haiti and thanks for looking in.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi and thanks for looking in to give me the chance to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I’d like to thank everyone who I have met in 2009 through shows and events, and also to thank those many people that has sent letters of love and support during some of the difficult moments.

I am sure that 2010 will bring us lots of surprises, and good ones I hope. Please keep in touch, and look out for the new gig list that will be appearing in the New year.

Lots of Christmas love and Christian blessings to you,

Top Cliff Lookalike

Hi dear friends,

It is so lovely for me to be quoted by many people as being “the top Cliff Richard lookalike.” The most recent has been in the latest issue of the very popular ‘Chat’ magazine on page 51. I must admit that I got quite a reaction from the Shadows when I went to the signing at HMV in Oxford Street, London on Monday 30th November. Hank Marvin shook my hand and said, “like the look.” I said to Hank in return, “we should do a gig sometime” and gave him my card. Cliff laughed at that one! It was lovely to be a part of the many 100’s of people that turned up. Once again I was privileged to have my photograph taken with lots of Cliff fans there.

The Christmas season is upon us and I am being kept busy with appearances and shows. I love this season so much as it brings me much joy. But there is a deep sadness in my heart due to the severe personal difficulties that I have had to face this year plus the death of my dear old dad, but I know that God has pulled me through and that makes me more determined to have a lovely Christmas this year, making it a time of thanksgiving.

I wish to thank all of my regular Cliff..as If ers for the love and regular messages of support. You have been so lovely and kind and may God richly bless you this Advent season. As soon as any news develops I will keep you informed, so please continue to look in to this blog.

Lots of peace and love,

Convention Confirmed

Hi dear friends and fans,

It has been confirmed to me that the very first Cliff Richard and The Shadows Convention is going ahead on Sunday 27th June 2010. I still don’t have the full details as yet, but as soon as I do I will post them on the Cliff…As If Blog.

This is great news for me and I am really excited about having the opportunity to meet 100’s of Cliff fans, and also having the chance to perform alongside Jimmy Jemian whose career as a Cliff tribute inspired me to do what I do.

I do hope that many of you who follow Cliff…As If will be able to get along to the convention. It will be great to see you there. 

Lots of love and peace,

Will 

Cliffmas – The Latest

Thank you for looking in today at the ‘Cliff…As If’ web site.

The Cliffmas song is due for release on the 9th December 2009, and you can download it from I Tunes.

TV and Radio stations the length and breadth of the UK now have access to the song and the dvd, and so our hope is that this little wonderful ditty will get lots of air play, and tv viewing. 

Everyone involved with the project is really excited about what may come from this. If myself or any of the others get to go live on air then the information of where and when will be posted on here. 

Here then is the video and the song. Please listen and watch as the Cliffmas team celebrate a family Christmas.

Happy Cliffmas!

Cliff Richard Convention

Hi and thanks for looking in to the Cliff…As If blog page.

Some real hot news – I have been reliably informed that there is probably going to be the very first Cliff Richard convention in the summer of 2010 celebrationg his 70th birthday. I have been asked to take part, but at present I can’t say much more about it than that as I don’t have any more details. As soon as I get the information then I’ll post it on here. I do feel very privileged to have been asked and as you can imagine very excited indeed.

While Cliff was celebrating his 69th birthday on stage with the Shadows in Sheffield, some friends including Elton (Nigel) and Liz from Cliff’s vineyard and I had a celebration meal with lots of fun including singing together a  host of Cliff numbers. We made a toast or two to Sir Cliff with some 2007 Onda Nova Aragonez, and it tasted lovely.

Today I am meeting with Julian Pugh from a Shadows tribute band ‘The Shadtones.’ We are looking forward to the possibility of doing some shows together, so I will update this blog with any developments that occur.  

Thanks again for dropping by. God blessings and love be with you.

Will
