Jun 27: Clifftastic!

A bunch of kids in 60’s outfits aboard a London bus with the ocean in the background? It can only be Summer Holiday at the Minack, an open air theatre built into the cliffs right down at the pointy end of Cornwall. Clifftastic! They even managed to work in a few extra songs from Cliff’s repertoire, including ‘The Young Ones’ and ‘Living Doll’. But hey kids, before you go thinking I’m a Cliff Richard fan, I think pretty much everything he’s done since 1968 has been truly awful... I mean ‘Wired for Sound? and that’s one of his better efforts! But on the other hand, Rick’s love of Cliff in the TV prog ‘The Young Ones’ provided plenty of material:

Rick (to Madness who were performing in Pub) Do you know ‘Summer Holiday’ by Cliff Richard
Suggs: You hum it and we’ll kick yer teeth in!

I'm sorry, even the stuff he did before '68 was awful. I should know, my mum has all the 45's... if it were a real bus I'd drive it over the cliff in more than one way :-)

Superb shot - made my day! (Mynack is such a great spot, but I don't see many pictures from there)

LOL David - I believe they are hoping it doesn't rain at Wimbledon for fear he sings and drives everyone away?

Dan - "Have you got a bloody videooo" in a Vyvyan voice!

'Travelling Light' and 'Dynamite' were my favourites. A&B sides, same record, if I remember rightly, and definitely pre 1968!

I'll be on a real one in a few hours as I head
back out to the San Diego County Fair. They use
them to move people from the parking areas.
Funny enough, it's by the sea too.
I've still got my "The Young Ones" episodes on
tape. Anyone care to watch?
;^)
