Stars fell on Stockton - The Shadows - cover by Dave Monk

The Shadows composed their 'Stars Fell on Stockton' (B-side to 'Wonderful Land') in Stockton-on-Tees, which was released on a single in 1962, and much of the music for the Cliff Richard movie 'Summer Holiday' whilst taking part in pantomime at The Globe in Stockton. As a youngster, Shadows band member Bruce Welch used to help on his grandmother's Stockton market stall. The Shadows took well-known tunes and use such titles with their own twist. "Stars Fell on Alabama" was huge hit for Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra long before "Stars Fell on Stockton." Anyway, here is my version. The backing track is by Goran Tangring. I hope you like it.
