WHAT an amazing night for
Sir
Cliff
Richard
OBE fans, as his 75th Birthday
Tour stopped off at a sold-out Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, on Saturday, 3
October 2015. If you don't know who he is, well that's a little hard to
explain, other than he is 1 of the nation's most popular, biggest selling
pop stars of all time. No other UK band or solo artist has ever come close
to equalling his 100 album releases, 123 single hits, or can claim to have
occupied a place in our charts for the equivalent of over 20 years! At one
stage you could not turn on the TV without hearing a reference to him. Even
Christmas indisputably became associated with him as well, as he released a
string of Christmas hits. He started out in the pre-Beatles British pop era
and is now regarded as Britain's answer to Elvis Presley. For many Cliff is
more than a house hold name, he is 1 of the great British institutions and
he has helped, inspired and influenced countless musical talents over his 56
years in the music business as well. This tour is Cliff's way of celebrating
of what is a remarkable career, in an industry known for short careers. His
staying power is down to his amazing ability to keep re-inventing himself,
and that re-invention has lead to an amazing show... Performing highlights
of this remarkable career, he received not only a standing ovation at the
start, but also at the end! How many pop stars can say they got that? He
might be Britain's all time greatest hit maker, but he is also one of the
best at knowing how to captivate an audience. His high quality performance
was backed up with his showmanship and amazing lighting. Even after the show
the ultimate entertainer kept his fans pleased by standing up and waving to
fans through the sunroof, as has he left the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall!
These photographs are just a glimpse of the show. We are sad not to be able
to bring you more, like sound and video, but trust us when we say, all who
attended were in-awe.
