Hi
And here's me sitting night after night trying to learn to play it !!!!! 50 years later just doesn't seem possible, absolutly frightening.

My birthday is on June the 17th so I always remember the date Apache was recorded . God bless Jerry Lordan god bless mom and dad

Yes, Happy Birthday to the finest ever version of "Apache".

Just suppose that Jerry Lordan hadn't played them 'Apache' and that Quatermassters Stores had been the A side with an undistinguished B side. . . . . . . . . which of their follow-up records would have been strong enough to do what Apache did for them?

For me, I would suggest that "The Savage" , "FBI", "Man Of Mystery", "Wonderful Land" and possibly "The Boys" may have been strong enough to make the break.

Did the Shads ever play Quatermassters Live ?

As far as I know, they only did a 'live-in-the-studio' version for Radio Luxembourg's "Me And My Shadows" in 1960 and I think also BBC radio.

55 years ago today...

Another memorable recording session was exactly 22 years ago. Hank and Mark Knopfler recorded the tracks "Wonderful Land" (also featuring Jeff Lynne) and "Nivram". "Wonderful Land" and "Nivram" appeared on the 45 rpm single, CD single and cassette single "Wonderful Land". "Wonderful Land" also appeared on Hank's 6th solo album "Heartbeat".

The BBC radio session for Saturday Club was held at the old 201 Piccadilly Studio 1, 2nd August 1960, and first broadcast 4 days later.

Ten years back this forum (the old forum really) organized a great gig with fans playing shadowmusic along the day all around the world. The event started in Singapore and finished in Canada. It was coordinated by Moe, and older member. Where is she now?

That was 15 years ago almost, it was in October 2000.
I've put our gig on YT.
Moe is out of sight regretfully.....she was nice to chat with and a great fan.
Hope she read this and will give a sign of life....


Cheers Rob

Hello All

Happy Birthday 'Apache'. Was it ever released as a 78rpm in the U.K? I know that it was in South Africa but I am not sure about here. I am sure there is something about it in Malcolm's book but I was reading these posts and just wondered.

Cheers
Jim
