This was Cliff at his peak, the Beatles were influenced by the shadows. They were at Pauls 21st in this year when Lennon had a fight with DJ bob Wooler who was at Beatle week 2000 when someone asked him about this incident he refused to comment on it.

Nor do I know if anybody's going to read it but the point needs making for the archive.<BR/><BR/>February 1963 wasn't at all damp and grey. It was bloody freezing - literally! The snow started falling on Boxing Day 1962 and it stayed on the ground for weeks and weeks, well into March. At my Junior School we weren't allowed out at dinner time (we had dinner time, not lunch time, up there on the Wirral). No wonder the country yearned for an overland trip to Greek sunshine, even if all there was at the end of it was Cliff in his string vest (!) before the Acropolis!<BR/><BR/>'Summer Holiday', the film, also has the distinction of being the first film I ever saw in a cinema. My Mum took me to the now defunct Plaza in Birkenhead, mainly because she wanted to see it herself! Can’t think how I missed this.

‘Summer Holiday’, the film, also has the distinction of being the first film I ever saw in a cinema. My Mum took me to the now defunct Plaza in Birkenhead, mainly because she wanted to see it herself!
