Saw her at the Odeon (formerly Regal cinema) in Holmeside, Sunderland along with Gene Pitney and a lot of Liverpool bands, e.g. Billy J. Kramer, Gerry and the Pacemakers., Undertakers, around 1963 or '64. Cilla specialized in nicking American hits from Dionne Warwick and recording them over here - Walk on by, Anyone who had a heart, etc. She wasn't in the same league as Warwick of course, but she'd get in quick and record them before the American version came out over here. Fair does to the lass, she did well out of it. R.I.P. Cilla.
I went to these venues too and had some great memories of those shows at the Odeon etc, wish I had kept my programmes tickets etc., Billy Fury was the stand out and the Rolling Stones wern't bad either, those were the days mate, these kids on here have never lived <laugh>

I enjoyed the Billy Fury one and bought his first LP. But by the time of The Stones, I'd gone from Sunderland.
 
When me dad was on security in the late 1970's he met Cilla on the motorway, in her rolls. He pulled up and said are you o k and she said yes, just having a break !. He has also met the queen, Phil, prince Andrew (talked to him on the docks) Jimmy adamson (SAFC manager) Onslow out of mrs bouquet and he was In heart beat he met them all there as well as George frasier, dapper Thompson and Vince lander, spuggy purvis there, Jack casey (the famous boxer) Bobby Thompson in the dun cow pub. My uncle met Diana doors on a train going to Newcastle, she was drunk he thought at the time !
