After The Shadows' disbanded in 1990, with Marvin deciding to tour with his own band, Welch's plans for his own tours did not fully materialise until 1998, when he formed Bruce Welch's Shadows (originally called 'Bruce Welch's Moonlight Shadows' - a name that was dropped after 1998).
At Shadowmania 2011 he included a Tribute To Jet Harris who had died from cancer in March of that year.
