Since then, the show has traveled extensively across the UK and Europe appearing at theatres, holiday resorts, clubs, private functions, corporate events and music festivals.

Gig report- Le Cabaret 23th November 2010 Will Chandler-direct from the UK for 1 night only with his fabulous show CLIFF.. AS IF Being a Cliff fan, and seeing his very professional concerts on many occasions, I was looking forward to viewing Will's show, as he is supposed to be one of the best Cliff Tribute acts in Europe. I was not disappointed...
Will gave 2 hours of a high energy performance and at times I was transported back 20 years as he not only looked like Cliff, he danced the right moves and sang like Cliff! The ladies enjoyed being involved as Will roamed the floor singing to them and presenting red roses. Everyone was delighted to sing along to such famous hits as 'Bachelor Boy', 'Move It', 'Devil Woman', 'Congratulations', and more.
Later Will performed some of Cliff's favourite Elvis tunes and we also had a taste of Cliff's latest style- Big Band music. With some humorous stories and jokes added, and the audience joining in the dancing around the room and going on stage - great fun was had by all.
Will is based in Manchester, UK - but visits Portugal regularly where he is seen in Cliff's own vineyards to entertain guests. He would love to visit Spain more often- so call and book him -you will not be disappointed either....

and has settled in the
Costa Blanca with his wife. He can also be seen playing golf at Charity
events, has hosted his own "Talk Show in Spain," and was involved with
the TV production of a golf based chat show called "Play a Round With

JESS CONRAD 60's Icon and International Film, TV, Stage & Singing Star Jess Conrad performed a one- off sensational show at Le Cabaret, a popular local venue. "Totally brilliant," " Fantastic and so enjoyable," and " It was the best!" were words exclaimed by the audience after the show. With a mixture of 'oldies' from the 50's and early 60's and Jess's own brand of humour and jokes-it was a captivating, fun and nostalgic evening. One lady visiting showed Jess her book with pictures of him in it that she had kept since the age of 14!
His lovely wife of over 40 years-Renee - told me that Jess still made her heart beat when he went on stage- how's that for love!? They jetted off to Cyprus for 5 days of appearances, then back to the UK for the release of a new Kevin Spacey film about the 60's in which Jess appears, as well as a 2 days 'Jess Conrad films' extravaganza in Manchester... We all enjoyed the evening and their company, and hope that Jess & Renee will be able to fit in another visit in their very busy schedule before too long. If anyone is interested in Jess performing in the Costa Blanca he may have an available date if you ask. Gig Report January 25th 2011- JESS CONRAD at Le Cabaret Jess, a well known actor & singer from the late 50's & 60's, appeared to a packed audience in this great music venue for a one night only show.
Even if you had never heard of him, what a great night you would have had - full of comedy, and many stories of his life and whom he worked with, as well as the great 'oldies' music where everyone raised the roof with their voices!
Fans of Jess were there, as well as new admirers, to watch this 60's icon perform. He deservedly had a standing ovation at the end - a true professional at work for a brilliant evening. Don't miss him next time!
