What is it about Cliff?
What is it about Cliff Richard that seems to upset a large chunk of the population?
It was interesting to see the reaction of people when it was discovered I reviewed his show at the NIA this week. It varied from sympathy to mild derision from a few quarters.
Now I am not his champion or greatest fan but anyone who can still fill the NIA after 50 years in the business has got to have something a bit special. Let's be honest if you look at his discography he has more material than Laura Ashley so could probably manage another half century just singing that lot and as anyone who has every bothered to attend will tell you, he puts on good shows.
He is pretty much an institution yet he is sneered at in the same category as the likes of Michael Bolton or Chris De Burgh and I have no idea why they get so much flak either. Any ideas?

Three Danish girls present but you watched Cliff Richard? Time for the wheelchair I fancy.
