MessageHank,
You never got the acclimation that was due to you.You were one of the Giants of Rock an Roll
You were the one we all aspired to Everything else came after
You and the Shadows were responsible for selling millions of Strats.
Us old guys will never forget ye ,After Bill Haley and Elvis ye were next in line .
I still play yer music and still enjoy it .
Congratulations .
Genuine fan
Mike

MessageI just re-read my last message that includes mistakes. Sorry! I met The Shadows at the Apollo Theatre in Oxford, England on 25 September 1978. I had just turned 15 years old. I was quite speechless. It was before their concert that evening and when my dad and I went into the theatre, we could hear the Shads practising Shazam. Memorable day.

Neils, I think you're very lucky to have met Hank so often. I also like the pictures of your Burns. Very jealous.

Three cheers for the original Guitar Hero!

MessageI grew up with Cliff & The Shadows music, as my dad is great Cliff fan - always has been. However, while I think Cliff is fantastic, I have to say the Hank is The Man. I used to play guitar in my band and we did a lot of Shads music. I always wanted to get my guitar to sound just like Hank's. He's a musical genuis and vastly under-rated in the wider world. As a general musician he's terrific, and his songwriting and composing ability has tragically gone laregly unnoticed.

Hank's solo albums have shown off tremdous guitaring talent that much of The Shadows well known hits have not capitalised on. Still, they didn't do too bad!

I met the Shadows in at the Apollo Theatre on 25 September 1978. Hank, Bruce & Brian autographed across my copy of the sheet music for The Rise & Fall of Flingel Bunt.

I was at O2 Arena in September 2009 to see Cliff and the Shads. What an evening of memories. I almost wept while they played Shadoogie (not the most emotional piece, I know, but it has such a personal history for me from my days in the band).

I have so many favourite Shadows tracks and albums. I always liked 'Zambezi' from Dance with The Shadows, and The Rockin' with Curly Leads album is so rich, musically. Of the songs Hank has written or co-written, I really like Time Drags By. Such a clever song, with great harmonies. I love them all.

Good stuff, Hank. You've made my life!

MessageWhat a great site! My late father was a shadows fan,and a fantastic guitarist too! but he most certainly had the Hank Marvin sound going on, and if you were to close your eyes and listen, you would honestly be none the wiser... I am so proud of what he achieved and he was totally inspired by Hank... I've felt comforted by visiting this site tonight as in my little moment of sadness, I have felt close to my dad through this site and his love of music, thankyou x
