Success in Cyprus

Hi dear Friends,

Thank you for looking in at the latest blog from the HQ of Cliff…As If.

I have recently returned from Cyprus after a mini tour of 5 ‘Cliff…As If’ shows in 5 nights. Thanks to the promoters of the tour Kendall & Morrelli it turned out to to be a rip roaring success. The audiences made known to me their approval by joining in with all the songs, dancing the nights away and enthusiastic applause during the shows and at the end with shouts of “more.” 

I’d like to thank the promoters for not just grafting to ensure everything went well, but also for their kind hospitality during my stay.

Now it’s time to prepare for the coming Christmas season. The bookings are flying in for public and private events over the festive period so please keep an eye on the gig page for a show that may be near you.

Other News:

The ‘Cliff As If’ HQ is relocating. All the details will be published on the blog very soon.

‘Cliff As If’ continues to actively support the tremendous work of the charity known as ‘Me & Dee’ There is a link on our home page. Please take a few moments to check it out and see how you too can be involved. I took part in their first charity bicycle ride. 111 miles from Derby to Mablethorpe.  It was hard work but I made it in 8 hours and what a great sense of achievement I had. The week before I attended the 7th Black Tie Ball at Burton Albion Football Club. It was my first official role as Chairman of the charity. 

Thank you for taking a few moments to read this blog. Your continued support is priceless. May all your troubles be small ones and your fortune ten times ten.

The Latest News From The ‘Cliff…As If’ Office.

Hi and thank you for looking in to the latest news blog.

I have just returned from a successful series of shows in Spain having travelled as far north as Javea and as far south as Mojaca. Each event was special in its own way but they all dished up their fare share of Cliff Richard fans. The comments about my performances were positive indeed and I was very pleased with how things went. I was also able to spend a day making a video to the song ‘Do You Wanna Dance’ and it is already available to see on this web site. All in all It was a lovely two weeks. I must thank Colin and Carol Collier for looking after me for the two weeks. They made me feel very much at home. Also a big thanks to Rosemary Beak from the Camposol Welcome Group, Peter and Fiona from Jukebox Legends, John and Maggie from Beachcomber, Shirley from the Campsite, Andy and Jackie from the Croeso Inn, Clive and Ann Read from the Javea Church and Alan Swoffer from Pro Acts.

I’ll be back in Spain for a series of shows in September. If you wish to find out the venue details then look up http://jukebox.musical-tributes.com/gig-list.

May and June will be very busy for me as I have 12 private functions and other events to do during May and another 10 during June. The next Popspel Show is 25th May at the Elim Grace Centre in Huddersfield. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee show on 2nd June is in Keighley Town Centre where I’ll be topping the bill with The Knights Shadows at a very specially arranged event.

I have been overwhelmed by the support of many people and lots of them dedicated Cliff fans who have given many kind words about my act and especially my look. It has helped tremendously to have a resemblance to Sir Cliff. I couldn’t have asked for any greater advantage really to enhancing the ‘Cliff As If’ presentation.

If any of you have photos from the ‘Cliff As If’ shows or events that you have attended then please send them over and we will try and post some of them on the gallery page.

God bless you richly, and power to all our friends.

Will.

New Video Footage

Hi and thanks for looking in for the latest news.

I have been busy for a couple of weeks now on the Costa Blanca for my first of two Spanish tours this year. Each show has been great fun and I have picked up some new friends along the way. I have even had time to make a video, as you can see above!

I wish to thank the Jukebox Legends team of Peter & Fiona, Colin & Carol for their amazing support in many ways while I have been over in Spain. Also the many laughs we have had along the way. While over here I have managed to have some church time in Javea at the Christian Centre and that was such a blessing. Pastor Clive Read and his wife Ann welcomed me and my music into their church and it was time well spent.

I have so much to look forward to this coming summer that I don’t know where to begin in telling you about all the events coming up, but I’ll be posting regular updates on public shows on here as they happen.

God bless you and Power to all our Friends,

Will.

Health and Fitness with ‘Cliff As If’.

A big hello and welcome. Thank you for looking in to the ‘Cliff As If’ blog today.

Wherever I travel to do shows and events many people ask me how I stay so slim and healthy and so I thought I would take a few moments to let you know about the new Health and Fitness section that I will soon be starting on this web site.

In my experience I believe that as individuals we adapt to things like diet and exercise to suit us and so I am in no way stating that my way is the best. I am just sharing with those of you who are interested what works for me in the hope that some of these things may help you too.

I will be dealing with diet and exercise, but also touching on the spiritual as part of a healthy lifestyle. Good food and fitness go a long way to improve the way we feel, but it can be enhanced greatly by applying Christian thought.

So watch out for the new Health and Fitness page coming soon on this ‘Cliff As If’ web site.

Love and blessings to you,

WILL.
