I'd like to welcome you to my Shadows Website. I have been a fan of The Shadows since 1960, and published my first book on their music in 1999. Launched on 12 March 2003, this Website was initially intended to give supporting information about my books. Nowadays a range of topics is covered, and with major presentations in the offing, I hope that the contents will provide a valuable resource about our favourite group. Enjoy! |
