The Shadows At Sixty is the story of one of the UK’s greatest bands as they celebrate 60 years since their inception, and tracks their journey from backing band to bona fide stars in their own right.
The Shadows were Cliff Richard’s backing band in the 50s and at that time, were known as The Drifters. They changed their name to The Shadows in 1959.
The group produced some of the most memorable and loved tracks of the last 60 years, including hits such as Apache, Kon-Tiki and Wonderful Land. During the 60s, they also appeared with Cliff Richard in films including The Young Ones, Summer Holiday and Wonderful Life.
The Shadows are one of the most successful acts in the UK singles chart, with 36 of their singles reaching the UK Top 40 and 20 reaching the Top 10. The Shadows At Sixty is a biographical and a richly textured document of changing times, charting how the private and public lives of this extraordinary band has helped to shape music for over half a century.
The Shadows At Sixty is produced by Spun Gold TV. Rory Robertson is the Production Executive for Spun Gold TV. It was commissioned for the BBC by Owen Courtney, Commissioning Executive, BBC Music TV.
A look back at the incredible success of The Shadows as they celebrate their 60th anniversary. Starting from where they began as The Drifters to then becoming the backing band for Cliff Richard and enjoying huge success in their own right, the programme celebrates The Shadows’ achievements across a time of constant change within the social, cultural and musical landscape.
The Shadows were at the forefront of the UK beat boom generation and the first backing group to emerge as big stars in their own right. Using unseen archive, personal testimony and interviews with the band, along with those they influenced, including Brian May, David Gilmour, Pete Townshend, The Shadows at Sixty is not just a trip down memory lane, but an in-depth, often emotional story of a group’s journey through six decades.
