 Terry
Wogan of BBC Radio 2 retired on the 18th of
December 2009. Terry is a truly distinguished
'Friend' of Clifford T Ward and above all others has
supported and regularly played many CTW tracks over the
years on his world famous morning show. Indeed Terry and
his BBC producer Paul Walters, whilst meeting with the
Friends and Pat Ward, both declared that the last track
ever to be played on their show would be a song by
Clifford T Ward.

Tommy
Fleming's album is entitled 'The Best is yet to
come' and features his own version of this classic
Clifford T Ward track. Tommy's album has now
reached multi platinum sales in Ireland, and interest
continues to go from strength to strength worldwide.
Tommy continues to 'sell out' all his live shows and
his CD sales are performing extremely well worldwide.
Tommy has recently returned
from a sell out tour of
Australia in May 2009 where his album “The Best is
Yet to Come” has recently
been released. It looks like the demand for Tommy’s
music down under will take
Tommy to Australia for several months in years to
come.
65th Birthday -
'Retirement' - Clifford T Ward
A celebration Evening Dinner
was held on the 7th February 2009
for
fans to meet and honour what would have been CTW's 65th
Birthday and his 'retirement'. (Actual birthday 10th
February).
It was a chance to meet other
fans and mark the occasion by celebrating his music
together.
It was a fantastic evening with excellent tribute cover
versions of CTW music from Danny and
Dean - the
'Sibling Rivals'. The event was held at the Gainsborough
House Hotel , Kidderminster.
But it didn't end there .... read on ...
Danny and Dean Alexander were 9 and 7 when they met
Clifford.T.Ward with their dad after a local BBC Radio
interview. Cliff was quite ill with the symptoms of M.S.
but made a lasting impression on their musical taste.
Whilst living in New Zealand for 2 years, they became
inspired by the imagery, clever lyrics and lovely melody
of his songs and gained an insight into his BBC Radio 2
award winning 'Home Thoughts from Abroad'. On return to
the U.K. they began performing his material at pubs and
folk clubs and found a song called 'Passion' that Cliff
had demo'd but remained unfinished... but true to the
unique style of Clifford T Ward they completed, arranged and
recorded 'Passion' along with 'Campers in the Night' and
'So Bright'. All three tracks are based on CTW's
unreleased demo tapes; this is their tribute to the man who
they clearly consider to be one of the greatest singer
songwriters.
These tracks has been featured by BBC's Liz
Kershaw on Good Friday 2009 on BBC Radio
Coventry & Warwickshire and the interview and live performance can be heard
(for
a limited period)
by logging
onto his link
''Listen
Again LIZ Kershaw''. It is featured about
three-quarters
way
through the show.
