Does anyone know if The Shadows have ever met all of The Who? I know that Hank has played lead guitar on Roger Daltrey's album "One Of The Boys", he probably met John Entwistle as well during those sessions, as John played bass on that album. Hank and Pete Townshend have played together on Paul McCartney's "Rockestra" session. Also, I read in one or two of The Shadows' tour books that Hank and Pete have met in the 1960's when The Who's "I Can't Explain" was just released.

It's basically as you described and as outlined in "The Story Of the Shadows". I don't think that Hank ever met Keith Moon. His encounter with Pete Townshend in the 60s was, I believe, purely by chance in the King's Road / Carnaby Street area in a fashion boutique. I do wonder (although it's not documented) if they ever came across each other during recordings for TOTP. Hank was certainly a fan of the Who & Pete Townshend. I do know that Pete Townshend was certainly present backstage after the Shadows 'final' appearance in the UK in 2004.
Best wishes,
Rob

Would I be right in saying that both Hank and Pete played on Paul McCartney's 'Rockestra' track - which I think was on his album 'Back to the Egg' (1979?)???
