I found this site whilst looking up some information on The Shadows and decided to join.
Both my twin brother ( now sadly dead ) and I had a great interest in the Shadows’ music from the early ‘60s.
Philip played drums and I ( attempted ) the bass guitar.
Not very successfully...
Phil carried on with his drumming and I eventually moved into PA systems.
If I couldn’t play I could, at least, help guitarists obtain a good sound.
Even after all the intervening years, the Shadows still sound ‘fresh’ and relevant.
Their unique ‘sound’ has never been bettered, in my opinion.
Now I’ve discovered this site I will spend some time reading through it.
Even a cursory glance made me realise how little I actually know.
