Pop culture icon and rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Hank Marvin was a founding member of The Shadows, the band who created the iconic instrumental sound of the late 50s/early 60s with their signature fender guitars and vox amps. The Shadows would achieve 69 UK chart singles, 34 of those with lead singer Cliff Richard. The Shadows are in the top 5 most successful acts on the UK singles charts along with Elvis, The Beatles, Cliff Richard and Madonna.
Hank continues to inspire multiple generations of guitarists, including some of the world’s foremost performers:
“Hank is simply unbeatable” – Eric Clapton
“I started to learn Hank’s single note style. None of us ever quite got that great sound.” – Brian May (Queen)
“Hank made a great impression on me” – Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
“Hank is a great stylist and technician, with a wonderful gift for expression on the guitar” – Pete Townsend (The Who)
This year, Hank has contributed guitar to a re-release of Mark Knopfler’s “Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero” in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
The band also features Gary Taylor known for his time in 60’s English group The Herd featuring a young Peter Frampton. In the 70s he recorded with Stealers Wheel and later working on records by Gerry Rafferty, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, Demis Roussos, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frankie goes to Hollywood, and The Proclaimers. Taylor joined Fox fronted by Australian singer Noosha Fox gaining several top 20 hits including ‘S-S-S-Single Bed’ in 1976. Today, Taylor co-owns “Sh-boom” studios in Perth with former Adelaidean Trevor Spencer of Adelaide 1960’s bands The Hurricanes, Johnny Broome and The Handels, The Vectormen and James Taylor Move.
