Just watched The Shadiws Final Tour. What a joy - musical music,words that you could hear and songs with an end instead of fading.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be but then, neither are The Shadiws

Didn't the Shadiws break up and some of them formed Shadiwaddywaddy?

I was into the Ventures when I first crossed the Atlantic and first discovered the Shadows. Something wasn't quite right. I'd call them "Ventures Light".

The son of the master of this chateau in Marcilly (Nièvre), he lives in Paris, loves the sound of the sixties and seventies, British style. Not a very professional video, simple Huawei smartphone, recorded for a live audience in 2017.

as far as I'm aware, there is no link, shawaddywaddy started off as two bands, and a promoter put them together and they entered new faces, which started their success, that's why everything was duplicated including two drummers.
