[@fidomusic]

The first concert I went to was when my mum took me to see Cliff Richard and The Shadows at the ABC Croydon in 1963. The Shadows became the first group I loved and I still love them.

[@wiewiorpl]

Hank Marvin's guitar sound is just pure gold... Saying this as an metalhead...

[@garymaidman625]

You think Hank Marvin is great (which he is), you should check out Roy Clark doing this, the man leaves Hank Marvin for dead.

It doesn’t matter what you listen to, when you hear pure genius like Hank Marvin you just appreciate it for the sheer beauty that it is ❤

I'm 61 yrs old. I've idolised Hank Marvin & Bruce Welch and The Shadows since I was five years old and first saw them getting off of a steam train at King's Cross Railway station back in the late 50s when I was just a very young kid. I've followed their every move since then and met them many times and had photos taken with them using my own CANON SLR. Also photographed them many times myself both during and after concerts. For my money and my life,Hank Marvin and the Shadows and Hanks other bands that includes members of his and Brian Bennets family, have been the greatest of all time for me.

Nowadays the charts aren't even based on sold recordings. Nor on downloads.

Hank is always grinning like a kid at Christmas when he plays. There's a man who really enjoys playing music, no matter how simple the piece is

It is simple, yet, his tone is like no other. Making something simple sound rich and warm is the challenge.

[@kennyee6323]

I first heard the sound of The Shadows way back in the 1960's and have never tired of it. They have inspired many young people in my home state, Sarawak, on the island of Borneo, to form instrumental groups (lead, rhythm, bass and drums) and entertain hordes of instrumental music fans at home. The Shadows are an original. Their music will endure with the passage time. I am sure many septuagenarians like me who have been Shadows fans since their teens, will continue to enjoy the music of one of the world's foremost instrumental groups of all times -- THE INCOMPARABLE SHADOWS. Even now, in my golden years, I can still hear the exhilarating beats of Tony Meehan's See You In My Drums. The original Shadows drummer has passed on (God bless his soul) but the group for which he drummed in the formative years, will live on and so will his name as an original member of the group.

[@alanpullen5285]

Hello Kenny. When I was in the British Army I served in Kuching, Sarawak for a year from November 1963. We lived in a tented area just alongside the police flats and down the road from the cinema. It's funny to hear that not too far from me you lived and both of us liked the Shadows. When we were sent on a rest period in Singapore I bought a record or two from the man who ran the juke box. When I had my meals in our cook house I took as many pieces of fruit as I could from the bowl and gave it all out to the kids that hung around outside. Nice to see a contribution on here from someone who must has been quite close to where we were. Best of life to you mate. By the way I am now 75.

[@nicholletan5992]

Agree with you Kenny. We are both from Kuching Sarawak and been following the Shadows since 1960s.

[@huatngilucas5651]

There was a 2 or 3-man band playing electric guitar instrumentals from the Shadows at the Moon Cake bazaar at Carpenter Street in Kuching every year until the covid-19 stopped everything.

[@toddbrittain1060]

I first heard this on the Kenny Everett video show in 1981. As good as Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch's contributions are, it's George Ford's octave bassline and Brian Bennett's four on the floor disco drumming that really makes this version a standout for me.

[@vickyhyde8173]

This is the third song I've listened to while trying to get into the Shadows and so far I'm getting the impression that Hank wrote the music for every cowboy film ever made in history. And he likes a good grin.

True story.. my uncle was in the Shadows as the keyboard player just before they made it big...my grandmother wouldnt allow him to go to London though and told him he needed a proper job...but they still went and the rest is history as they say.....fair play to him though he never held it against her. Hank gives him a mention in his book which he was over the moon with...

After discovering The Shadows in 1977, aged 13 & seeing them on their '20 Golden Dates' tour I imagined they were a band to be enjoyed in retrospect but hoped, as a teenager does, that they would once more appear in the charts. When they recorded Riders In The Sky, a long time favourite of mine since hearing the Frankie Laine version at an even younger age, I was thrilled to bits. When they appeared on Top Of The Pops performing this my heart almost burst .
