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.

Today the Shadows make few live appearances but the Bootleg Shadows keep their 'live' sound alive by performing a fantasy concert that encompasses the Shadows amazing career from 1960 up until the early 80s.Concert audiences are invited to relive fantastic hits such as
Foot Tapper, Man of Mystery, Atlantis, Wonderful Land, Kon Tiki, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, FBI plus many, many more 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.

In the company of Mark, John, Tony, Steve and Tony 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 -
