Eddi – who was known for her fiery auburn hair – was all smiles as she posed with the Devil Woman singer, 82.
She wore a brown and blue suede jacket, while Cliff rocked a plaid shirt.
Eddi looked a far cry from her rock star days in Fairground Attraction.
Their most famous hits were the 1988 tracks Perfect and Find My Love, both taken from the group’s multi-platinum selling debut album, The First of a Million Kisses.
The group was also made up of guitarist Simon Edwards and Roy Dodds, who played the drums.
The band won two Brit Awards in 1989, but split the following year.
A makeshift second album, a collection of B-sides and live tracks, Ay Fond Kiss, was released that year.

She went onto release her first solo debut album in 1992 titled Mirmama.
She was then signed her to Warner Brothers subsidiary label, Blanco Y Negro.
The managing director Rob Dickens executively produced her second solo album Eddi Reader in 1994, which won her the Best Female Singer BRIT Award that year.
She continued to focus on her music and released Candyfloss and Medicine in 1996 and Angels & Electricity in 1998.
Eddi married John Douglas, a songwriter and member of The Trashcan Sinatras.
