On 12th october 2008, 2 days before Sir Cliff Richard's 68th birthday, BBC Radio Leicester arranged for him to meet Will Chandler, Cliff .. As If! at the offices of BBC Radio in London. Click on the image below to hear an extract of the interview.

The Cliff… As If show has since travelled right across Europe at theatres, resorts, clubs, private functions, corporate events and music festivals.
The Cliff… As If Cliff Richard tribute act is not just about music but also comedy. Will takes a very lighthearted approach to his tribute to the Peter Pan of Pop and laughs are plentiful in the show: everyone is invited to join in the fun with the ‘Summer Holiday Conga’ and the ‘Livin’ Doll Rock’.

You can book a full solo Cliff Richard tribute show or with a Shadows Tribute Band. Maybe there’s only time for a few songs so you can hire the very special and unique CliffaGram service. A Cliff fan's delight is guaranteed whatever version of performance by ‘Cliff As If’ is booked.
Will Chandler has appeared to ‘meet and greet’ at many exhibitions and lookalike events as Sir Cliff Richard including the very highly rated ‘Fake Festivals’ around the UK. Will's looks have been compared to Cliff's for most of his adult life. He has the same build and colouring as Sir Cliff and adheres to a similar diet and exercise regime to remain slim, fit and healthy. It's one of Will's ambitions to age as well as Cliff too!

Will Chandler aka Cliff… As If
Cliff As If recently delivered an unforgettable evening of entertainment at Whitchurch Tennis Club, Cardiff, performing for the Cliff Richard Fan Club of Wales in support of Kidney Wales charity.
For over three hours, Cliff As If captivated the audience with an incredible tribute to Sir Cliff Richard, performing hit after hit and bringing the music to life with remarkable accuracy. Not only does he look and sound just like the real Cliff, but he also dresses the part – wearing one of Sir Cliff Richard’s original shirts on the night!
From the first song to the last, he had everyone on their feet, dancing and singing along. The atmosphere was electric, and the room was filled with joy and nostalgia.
It was a truly fabulous evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended – a wonderful celebration of music, community, and charity. The event was such a success that the most asked question at the end of the night was: “When is Cliff As If coming back?”
His Cliffagram was the perfect surprise for my mother's birthday party (she's a huge cliff fan). Not only was he charming, entertaining and professional but many guests thought he was the real Cliff! On top of that Will's communication throughout was excellent and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Will.
Cliff As If has been booked to perform at our club a great many times and he never fails to deliver a brilliant performance.
He has brought joy and happiness to our audiences, and he is hilarious and also a lovely man - double prizes.
Highly recommended.
Go to see Will, you won't regret it.
