Sir Cliff Richard Golden Anniversary

Sir Cliff Richard has celebrated 50 years in showbusiness by publishing an auto-biography. Sir Cliff used to live in a council house at Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. The house was tiny and he had to share a room with one of his sisters. It was in 1958 that he burst on to the music scene with the song, ‘Move It’ with a style initially based on Elvis.  Sir Cliff has has number one’s in each of the four previous decades. The relevance of the anniversary to to our story is simple - for early in our tale Sarah asks Julia about Peter Pan and Netherland! Sir Cliff seems to defy his years, so was fondly dubbed, the Peter Pan of Pop!  He was also the front singer of ‘Cliff Richard and the Shadows!’

A devout Christian, Sir Cliff has remained a Bacholor Boy throughout his career. What can we say, other than Congratulations!

Liverpool city of culture 2008

Liverpool has been celebrating the New Year as Europe’s Capital of Culture 2008. Twelve months of special events and regeneration projects are planned. The award came as no surprise to us given all the links to ‘The Haymakers Survey’. The artist, George Stubbs, was born in Merseyside; its also the home town of the famous Beatles - so beloved by Ben and prominent in our tale; and the Turner Prize exhibition is at the Liverpool Tate. We believe the decision further vindicates the magic of ‘The Haymakers Survey’.
