Cliff Richard's 60 years in show business are honoured by Variety, the Children's Charity

Sir Cliff Richard joined Variety, the Children’s Charity, at a star-studded tribute event at the London Marriott Hotel on 11th July 2019 to honour his 60 years in show business. During a thrilling evening, which was hosted by television presenter Gaby Roslin, Sir Cliff performed some of his best-loved hits to a spellbound audience: ‘Devil Woman', We Don't Talk Anymore' and ‘Rise Up’. Backing vocals were provided by the IDMC Gospel Choir.

Sir Cliff was also joined on stage by a surprise line-up of old industry friends including Bruce Welch, guitarist of The Shadows; Brian Bennett, drummer of The Shadows; actress Una Stubbs; radio presenter Paul Gambacinni; television presenter and singer Gloria Hunniford; comedian Jasper Carrott and comedian Jimmy Tarbuck. One after another, they shared never-heard-before stories and personal reminiscences about Sir Cliff's extraordinary career.

A highlight of the evening was the moment when Malcolm Brenner, a Variety Trustee and Former Chief Barker, and Caroline Monk, Variety’s Celebrity Manager, inducted Sir Cliff as a Variety Ambassador, and thanked him for his ongoing support of the charity.

The event also marked Variety’s 70th anniversary - the charity was founded in the UK in 1949. https://www.variety.org.uk/

The sold-out event raised substantial funds to help improve the lives of children and young people throughout the UK.

Variety would like to thank Sir Cliff Richard and his team for their remarkable support over the years, and wish him many more wonderful years in his career.
