The Bootleg Shadows play their own tribute with a date at the Hawth Studio, Crawley, on Saturday, November 21, at 7.30pm.

Spokeswoman Lorraine McGregor said: “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.
