In 1959 teenage poet Royston Ellis teamed up with Cliff Richard’s group, the Drifters (later called The Shadows) and appeared with them on television and stage shows performing his unique brand of ‘rocketry’ (rock ‘n’ roll poetry). He became closely associated with Cliff, Jet, Tony, Hank &amp; Bruce and wrote the first ever book about them, Driftin’ With Cliff Richard followed by the 1961 biography The Shadows. 
These much sought-after books have been long out of print. Royston Ellis has agreed to combine and expand the content of these two books into a new book, Cliff Richard and The Shadows – A Rock &amp; Roll Memoir. This new book recalls insights of days and nights spent with Cliff and the Shadows between 1959 and 1961. 
Largely regarded as THE spokesman for the British Rock &amp; Roll generation, Royston Ellis now re-evaluates how Cliff and The Shadows represented the hopes, aspirations and values of British teens at the dawn of the swinging 60s, when things would change forever. 
Cliff Richard and The Shadows – A Rock &amp; Roll Memoir is a timeless snapshot of an era that only lasted a few years, but whose importance would reverberate for decades. This beautifully designed book includes rare photos.

ROYSTON ELLIS blasted into Britain's literary world as the ultimate teenage rebel poet with his first books, JIVING TO GYP (1959) and RAVE (1960). Ellis created "rocketry", reciting his poems to rock n' roll backing. In Liverpool, he was backed by a scruffy young beat combo called the Beetles-John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Stu Sutcliffe. It was Ellis who suggested they change the spelling of their band name, and later became the inspiration for their hit record "Paperback Writer". In 1960 he caused a nationwide controversy with his remarks on the teenage lifestyle in the TV programme Living For Kicks. He was backed on television and on stage by Cliff Richard's original group, the Shadows, and by Jimmy Page, later of the Yardbirds, and subsequently, Led Zeppelin. Out of print for over fifty years, his first two books JIVING TO GYP (1959) and RAVE (1960) and included here in entirety, with select early works, many previously unpublished. His introduction provides a rare glimpse into the early days of British beat poetry and music. All hail teenage beat king Royston Ellis!
