Thanks for posting this, Ivo. Unfortunately - although there's some very useful information here, particularly about Cliff's early '60s TV shows - some of the information is incorrect regarding Hank's appearances on Cliff's
It's Cliff Richard shows. Hank declined the offer of a residency on the 1972 series of
It's Cliff Richard, presumably because he was devoting most of his time to MWF. He also turned down the offer of his own series - as a Victor Borge-style music compere - around this time (I read this somewhere - Rob Bradford can doubtless provide more details). Regarding the 1974 series, Hank only appeared as guest in the first episode - also appearing with John Farrar singing
Music Makes My Day and
Wilie and the Hand Jive (with Cliff).
It would be great if Dusty Tapes could release a similar CD to the soon-to-be-issued Hank live disc for Cliff/Hank/MWF; I've heard some of the songs Cliff sang with MWF and they're awesome! (Also some more of his duets with Hank would be good - for example the
Spanish Harlem/Bird Dog/Proud Mary medley. Incidentally this and numerous other Shadows/Hank performances from the '70s/'80s seem to have disappeared from YouTube - anyone else noticed this?)
