Cliff & The Shadows were the quintessential entertainers in the Rock & Roll era of the British music scene. The Shadow Men are a tribute to the sound of that era. Made up of local musicians, who together have over 50 years of Shadows music experience among them, ranging from playing in local bands of the 60s & 70s like ‘Glen Ingram’s Hi-Five’, ‘Pendulum’, ‘Shades’, and ‘Reflections’, to today’s music of the ever popular band ‘Word of Mouth’.
The Shadow Men are: Mike Bush & Pieter La’Brooy on lead guitars (to get that ‘Hank’ sound), Dave Maunders on rhythm guitar, Richard Smith on bass guitar, Michael Truran on keyboards, and Ray Thomas on drums, and our very own Ron Fisher giving his own tribute to ‘Cliff’, all coming together as ‘Rich Cliffard and The Shadowmen’.
HYBRID
Hybrid is an eclectic group of musicians, bought together in 2003. Their focus has been on writing and recording new music in a private studio. The 5 original members – Robin Baird (ex Sonics), Justin Birchmore, Mark McEntee (The Divinyls), Jess Padman and Nigel Shaw (ex "Gerry & the Atrix" ) – have developed over 40 pieces, including 20 arrangements that form the basis of an unscripted "Operatic Song Cycle"; the story of which is evolving from the music.
Over the years, this line-up has been augmented with contributions by Pieter La’Brooy (ex "Hi-Five", "Tollmen" etc), Tim Sharp (ex "Gerry & the Atrix"), James Fielder and Rod Christian (writer of the hit musical "Cruisin").
In performance mode, "Hybrid" focuses on charity events, bringing to audiences of all ages, a mix of original songs and classic rock covers.
