Here we are in the middle of a Global Financial Crisis, comparisons to previous decades abound, we can't even have a rasher sandwich, and The Shadows are reforming with Cliff Richard to play "stadium concerts" in 2009.

I knew that this recession was different but why The Shadows , for feck sake,we're depressed enough.

Apparently this will be the last opportunity to see them all together on stage.

2009 and The Shadows are still "gigging" oh Christ we're going backwards.
