EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London in August 1962. The iconic bowler-hatted "busker" caught our attention, but little did we know that it was none other than the legendary Cliff Richard himself. Engaging with the lively Road Stars buskers, Cliff showcased his talent for not only singing but also dancing as he effortlessly performed a soft-shoe shuffle. The reason behind this impromptu performance becomes clear when we learn that Cliff had invited the buskers to Elstree Studios where he was filming Summer Holiday. This act served as his protest against the recent ban on street performers like them. It is heartening to witness an artist using their platform to stand up for what they believe in. As the day progressed, these talented buskers left Elstree Studios and headed towards Westminster for a rehearsal before their upcoming engagement. Concerned about potential obstruction charges, Cliff asked if they were afraid of getting pinched by law enforcement officers. In response, one of the older members assured him that there was no need to worry as they were performing at a police officer's wedding. This photograph captures a moment filled with humor and camaraderie between musicians fighting for their right to perform freely on London's streets during an era defined by music and cultural revolution. Carl Bruin expertly preserves this slice of history through Memory Lane Prints, allowing us all to reminisce about a time when artists like Cliff Richard used their influence for positive change in society
