Hank Marvin of The Shadows, Rare interview

[@DazzlingGreaser]

Thank you for your amazing support! It always means a lot to me. I'm very happy to see such good stats here. :)

[@nightrider8908]

I began listening to the Shadows in 1960 and I haven't stopped yet! 😁

[@DazzlingGreaser]

That's nice to hear! :)

[@marklynch3149]

I wasn't born until 1965, but I fell in love with their music and I still love it today 😃😁

[@EdVanMeyer]

He is largely the reason I have been playing the guitar for many years. A great player and nice man too.

[@D800Lover]

Hank's always a gentleman without any airs.

[@leojnivram2987]

Hank B MARVIN est unique : personnalité, classe, distinction et évidemment guitariste au dessus du lot depuis toujours et pour toujours... C'est lui qui a lancé avec The SHADOWS ce son extraordinaire et si raffiné avec une perfection du détail musical et émotionnel que très peu de guitaristes (à part Chet ATKINS) on réussi à atteindre !

[@MrGregHiller]

On avait, en France, Les Lionceaux (?) qui couvrait les Shadows, Leoj

[@leojnivram2987]

@@MrGregHiller Les Lionceaux... Aucun rapport avec The SHADOWS... The SHADOWS, c'est la Classe

Hank and The Shadows had a great influence in my early years as a guitarist Thank you guys for the memories

[@danharrow7458]

I grew up with the Shadows and Beatles music. No better time really, sorry for those who didn't see it first hand but still their music lives on. Thanks for posting this Alice.

[@DazzlingGreaser]

You're welcome, Dan!

[@alfching2499]

Being 74 I certainly grew up with them,But time never stands still.and yesterday never comes back,I like you still listen to these people because I still like too.

[@martyndormer]

Wow! My goodness, I love the Shads!✨🎸

[@christianjamet884]

J''ai 75 ans et je joue toujours des titres des Shadows ,leurs principaux tubes si nombreux, je joue avec des petits jeunes de 50 à 60 ans et on prend réellement beaucoup de plaisir à faire découvrir au public leurs titres, les réactions sont surprenantes car les jeunes sont interpellés par ces compositions, le son, la variété des thèmes ,c'est une musique intemporelle qui fait beaucoup d'adhésions .ETONNANT! NON?

[@martm216]

Such a gentleman and genuinely modest.

[@mickeygovender2851]

I love the Shadows even after those many years. Hank is a super gentleman in the business Even now - his humility knows no bounds

[@DazzlingGreaser]

I agree with you, Mickey! It is absolutely a great band! I'm very young (15 years old), but I'm a big fan of their music. My peers dissapoint me with music they listen to. I'm happy, that I know about such amazing musicians, as The Shadows.

[@mickeygovender2851]

15 and loving the Shadows.! Now, that's very rare indeed. Must show this to my kids. Please stay in touch. Good luck.

[@DazzlingGreaser]

@@mickeygovender2851 thank you! I love a lot of songs of 50s and 60s. Buddy Holly, Elvis... And The Shadows of course. I even started playing electric guitar because of Hank, and now I can play a lot of his tunes and not only...

[@mickeygovender2851]

The Shadows sound got me started too. You have good taste.

[@DazzlingGreaser]

@@mickeygovender2851 thank you! :)

[@nat_wood23]

His voice is so gentle. I love it!

[@brucegibbins3792]

Thank you for sharing this Hank interview, Alice. Its very interesting to lean new things about The Shadows.

[@DazzlingGreaser]

You're welcome, Bruce! :)

[@christianemahy1043]

I'm Belgian and these interviews of Cliff and Hank were made after the show at the Forum of Liège (my town) in 1964. It was the only time I saw them live. I was 15 like you and I'm still their greatest fan at nearly 74. The concert was amazing. You can see it on KZbin (Belgian TV archives). They had the power to move us and I have been loving Cliff since his beginnings. Thank you for sharing these gems.

[@MrGregHiller]

Thank you so very much, Alice, for posting this. As you probably already know, the sound level is very low, but it's maybe not possible to augment this: I myself have no experience with placing videos here.

[@gloquezada176]

Beautiful smile! 🥰😍

[@raphaelkavanagh6950]

First it was Duane Eddy but then it was Hank B Marvin and the Shads with that driving electric guitar sound backing a vocalist which in my opinion even surpassed what was heard on American recordings. Hearing Merl Travis play Re-Enlistment Blues in t he movie From Here To Eternity on a fender accoustic turned me onto guitar music big time and learning the instrument and many years of enjoyment. Hank is a wonderful tunesmith.

[@aussiecoastie72]

Hank is awesome 👏

[@stewartsnape2936]

Was my favorite shadow

[@DazzlingGreaser]

Same!:)

[@Huntermoody]

It’s first time I’ve heard Hanks geordie accent as he has picked up the aussie twang now.

[@ryanbrownnew]

An interview for the KGB would be less intimidating.

[@mrheavywater]

You can hear is accent strong in this interview, really nice 👌🏻

[@eelessam]

Still has his accent a bit in this video, nice to hear.

[@malcolmlyndsell5009]

Hank was always a pro

The poshest sounding Geordie I've ever heard.
