The Shadows story began when a young singer named Cliff Richard walked into a London "Coffee House" in search of a backing group, and came out with four young men, who in those days called themselves "The Drifters", and as Cliff developed into one of the World's top attractions, so the Group rose to fame with him
In September 1959, owing to confusion between themselves and an American group also called "The Drifters", the boys elected to change their name to "The Shadows". Soon they were acclaimed as Stars in their own right and they have released a series of records that have become hits around the World.
