I am so surprised no expert has turned up on this thread yet. I met Hank once he used to visit a friend just down the road from my mate. Very nice genuine chap

Blimey Errol, how old you think I am????????

I was a 5 year old kid when he live around the corner. I think they were playing in a coffee bar in Soho then. Before they hit the big time.

I think I used to practice the Shadows Walk with me tennis racket though.

I found out earlier that they are one of the top three charting bands ever in the UK - i am hoping John is online because I think he is an expert.

you'll have to hurry up, Errol there aint many of em left.........originals that is.....

Shadows music isnt what it used to be............its too technical these days the tune tends to get lost in the special effects.............one time it was down to the guitars and the players, but much of it comes out of mysterious electronic boxes.......

mind you the talent is still there, but...........
