Their leader & lead guitarist – Jacques Godot has kindly written the following short introduction for our Newsletter. “Our Shadows Tribute band Foot Tapper was formed in 1992 based in Nancy, North East France. Our four band members have each played Shadows music for a very long time. Left to right: Magico Rico drums, Jacques Godot lead guitar, Albert Fabbro bass guitar Claude Jacques rhythm guitar “Some of us have participated in festivals around France including Grenoble-Vif (The Shadows), Calais (Rock Across the Channel), Lille-Fleurbaix (Ch'tishad). For several years, Foot Tapper have shared close ties with Shadowmaniacs France and indeed Michel Hénaux and Marcel Dumont will be joining us on our trip. On the eve of Christmas, Foot Tapper will have fulfilled a dream of coming to England. Thank you to Bob Withrington, Bruce Heyden and all members of their beautiful association for the invitation to The Surrey Shadows Club”.

This is one that I’ll be sad to see go, being a Shadows fan, but it’s either that or move to a bigger house! It has no dings or scratches, no fret wear, and plays and sounds really good. It’s nicely set up and stays in tune well. It comes with a Brandom custom thick padded gig bag. I’ve also fitted a Hank Marvin type staggered tremolo arm (I can put the original back if you prefer, but the Hank one is better!)
