Mødet I Erritsø SShhaaddoowwssNNyytt 1166 August 2003 THE FINAL TOUR: Klip fra engelsk artikel: Grundlæggerne af The Shadows - Bruce Welch og Hank Marvin har helet et 13 år gammelt sår – og den klassiske guitargruppe genforenes for en sidste tour. Lidt overraskende har en ”kändis” bedt om billetter til den sidste koncert – nemlig Neil Young. Bandets rytmeguitarist Bruce Welch siger: ”En har på vegne af Neil Young bedt om billetter til det sidste show på London’s Hammersmith Odeon – 12. juni 2004. Åbenbart var Hank hans idol i de tidlige år – det undrer mig ikke – Hank var den første guitar stjerne”. En happy ending lå ellers ikke i kortene. Bruce Welch – som på et tidspunkt var forlovet med Olivia Newton- John – siger, at der var store problemer før de kunne komme til enighed. Så kom den længe ventede nyhed – THE SHADOWS er tilbage igen – i den ”gamle” opstilling med Hank, Bruce og Brian. Hvem der bliver bassisten og manden på keyboards vides ikke på nuværende tidspunkt. Men mon ikke det bliver Mark Griffiths og Cliff Hall – det var jo dem der var med på den sidste tour i 1990. ”Jeg havde ikke talt med Hank siden den sidste tour i Det vides heller ikke på nuværende tidspunkt, om det 1990. Vi gik hver til sit og fik ikke diskuteret bliver en ren engelsk tour eller om der bliver plads – problemerne dengang” – siger Bruce Welch. ”Hank læs økonomi – til et par afstikkere til Danmark og den ringede til mig for 3 måneder siden, og vi blev enige øvrige del af Europa. Der er ingen tvivl om at det er et om at lægge uoverensstemmelserne bag os – så vi kan dyrere arrangement at håndtere end Hank alene – nu tage ud på den sidste tour og tage afsked med vore men vi krydser fingre/tæer og håber det bedste. fans på en god måde”. Gad vide om Shadows gamle ET Promotion siger, at de ”forsøger at forhandle” en ven – Sir Cliff Richard – vil dukke op som gæstesolist fatale på plads – det er ikke en formulering, der lyder ved nogle af deres koncerter. alt for lovende – det er ikke bare formaliteter, der skal på plads. Oversat fra “Teletext Total Entertainment” Side 1 trommesolo – og så lave en trommesolo som lyder helt Rim og rytmer anderledes. Et interview fra Guitarist – februar 2003 – skrevet af Roger Phil spiller naturligvis på en traditionel 1957 Strat med Newell – oversat af Gert Mikkelsen maple hals, men endnu vigtigere spiller han gennem en Meazzi ekkomaskine, så han har lyden. Jeg mener, Bruce Welch er en anerkendt sangskriver, at Hank bruger 3 guitarer i dag med forskellig en succesfuld producer og en glimrende opstrengning – Phil bruger den samme hele vejen, og han slår virkeligt strengene an. Hank havde også et sanger, men han er stadig mest kendt for hårdt anslag i gamle dage og man kan høre energien hans formidable talent på rytme guitaren. Nu på de gamle plader. På gamle klip kan man høre ham er han med hans egne Shadows ”on the road rive og flå i strengene i The Frightened City, mens again”…. vibratorarmen bruges kraftigt. Nu er det hele mere stille roligt – han er jo også i min alder – så han et har været et år på godt og ondt for bruger ikke den samme kraft, som han gjorde i hans DShadowsfans. Hank Marvin gennemførte en meget unge dage. Phil har stadig ungdommens energi og han succesfuld tourne men annoncerede, at det ville være er virkeligt et talent. hans sidste store tourne i England og resten af Europa. Det var en trist nyhed for de som ikke kunne komme å scenen bruger de mest din Strat? til årets koncerter. PJa – en Strat og en Vox. Vi spiller ikke ret meget Men heldigvis tournerer Jet Harris – den gamle bassist fra Burns-tiden, der er faktisk kun Flingle Bunt, så det fra Shadows – stadig, og en sjælden mulighed for at meste er fra Strat-perioden. Men jeg har min Burns opleve Brian Bennett in action var af et årets med – og jeg har en 1957 Vintage Strat – samme højdepunkter på årets ShadowMania. farve med guld, så hvis der sker noget med guitaren, så har jeg en reserve. Men måske var den bedste nyhed i 2002 at Bruce Welch var ”on the road again” med hans egne ruger du akustisk guitar på scenen i dag? Shadows. Mange har oplevet bandet ved de årlige BJa – jeg har netop fået håndbygget en dejlig ShadowMania’s, så vi spurgte Bruce om showet kørte akustisk guitar.Jeg har altid haft en Martin D28 fra på samme måde? Marvin, Welch & Farrar dagen, men nu er jeg endelig ”Ja – stort set – men naturligvis gør vi tingene lidt kommet ind i den moderne verden. Mick Johnson – anderledes ved ShadowMania,” fortæller Bruce. ”Vi min ven og guitarmand – har bygget en special spiller numre fra de gamle albums, B-sider og det akustisk guitar til mig – magen til en D28 men med en virkelig gamle materiale – fordi det er det man vil Fishman pickup, så nu spiller jeg med en hådbygget Johnson på scenen – det er dejligt og lyder smukt. høre. Det har hele tiden været ”OneNight” stands – indtil sidste år, hvor jeg fik lettet røven og lavede 3 shows i november.” vad fik dig til at gøre det? HJeg tror, det var fordi jeg talte med min gode ven Marty Wilde – han sagde, at det var det jeg burde gøre, og jeg nød virkeligt. Men endnu vigtigere – publikum nød det også – det var en fantastisk følelse. Da jeg startede med ShadowMania, var det det eneste jeg skulle lave på et år, og sådan var det i fire år. Det er anden situation, fordi folk kommer ind fra hele verden, USA, Rusland, Canada, Thailand og Europa – de kommer for at møde venner og for at have to gode dage, købe forskellige ting og snakke med andre. Når du giver en almindelig koncert i Birmingham, har du ikke folk fra hele verden. Men reaktionen var fantastisk og det var det mest tilfredsstillende. Bortset fra ShadowMania har jeg ikke været på scenen i 12 år. vem er med i bandet? HVi har selvfølgelig Cliff Hall på keyboards – Alan Jones på bas – de musikere der har arbejdet med Shadows i længst tid. Så er der Phil Kelly på single guitar og Bob Watkins på trommer. Da Bob er skolelærer på fuld tid er de fleste jobs lagt i forbindelse med fridage – så hvis vi skulle gøre det på fuld tid, ville vi løbe ind i problemer. Han kan/kender alle de små tricks fra Tony Meehan og Brian Bennett og det er en stor gevinst. Der er mange dygtige trommeslagere som ikke vil spille Shadows musik, fordi de ikke vil spille det som det blev spillet i ”gamle dage” – men det er vigtigt, at det lyder som folk husker det – det er det de vil høre. Det duer ikke at spille ”Little B” som Tony, Jet, Hank og Bruce – ca. 1960 ShadowsNyt 16 - Side 2 berømte guitarister at lytte til, som I har i dag. Jeg ar du aldrig været fristet til bruge en prøver altid at spille med en lyd der lyder stor, bl.a. Hakustisk guitar på scenen – f.eks. i The derfor spiller vi mange numre i A-mol. Du har et åbent Savage – hvor rymeguitaren er så karakteristisk? E og A og det øverste E klinger. Det er ikke teknik. Det kunne jeg gøre i dag – men hvis jeg havde spillet Hvis du ser tilbage på Shadows karrieren indspillede vi akustisk i 1958/59 så ville der aldrig have været en ca. 700 numre – og de var meget forskellige. Fra de Shadows-walk og alt det andet, for jeg ville have tidlige Rock’n’roll numre til de mere stille numre – så været låst foran et mikrofonstativ, og det var derfor min rolle var at klinge eller spille akkorderne – jeg aldrig gjorde det. primært på akustisk guitar. Jeg var ikke glad for den The Savage er anstrengende at spille under alle elektriske rytmelyd – det lød som en brummen i omstændigheder – efter andet vers kan det mærkes – baggrunden. jeg får krampe – men publikum elsker smerten. Hvordan jeg gjorde det dengang? – det var som en en du brugte rent faktisk en del forskellige metronome – med afslappet håndled, men den er Melektriske guitarer under optagelserne – anstrengende. Måske var det derfor vi ikke spillede havde du en særlig favorit? den så tit, dengang vi stadig spillede sammen. The Jeg brugte vel egentlig min Burns mest. Jeg har Savage blev udgivet på plade, mens vi var i Australien billeder, hvor jeg spiller på en Grimshaw – jeg ved – vi blev ikke konsulteret, så vi var lidt forbløffede. faktisk ikke hvad der er sket med den – jeg har stadig Men Norrie Paramor var producer og kunne på egen min sorte Vega, som jeg ødelagde ved at bede Jim hånd beslutte hvad der skulle udgives. Vidste du, at Burns om at udskifte pickupperne. Jeg spillede på en Apache ikke var kommet ud som A-side, hvis det Jazzmaster da vi optog Me And My Shadows i 1959 – havde stået til Norrie? Gud ske tak og lov for at hans og jeg mener også, at vi har fundet frem til, at jeg døtre hørte det og begge valgte Apache som A-side. brugte den på Midnight. Men selvfølgelig brugte jeg Men Norrie var fantastisk – han var som en far for os. også Cliff’s J200 på Apache – på en måde er den for Han lærte os utroligt meget, men vigtigst af alt – han langt fremme i mixet – men den lyder stor og fylder lod os gøre hvad unge fyre måtte gøre – vi fik lov at godt.

  • THE QUESTS by Tony Fairbairn
    (The following article appeared in the Pipeline Rock Instrumental Magazine in 2005. Use with permission from Tony Fairbairn.) THE QUESTS by Tony Fairbairn Tony became a fan of The Quests when he saw them live in Singapore in 1964 and here he tells their story Singapore in the early 1960s was an exciting musical crossroads of the world. The weekly evening Amah’s noisily flaunted all the current UK and US hit parade records, and by day you could wander into C K Tang’s department store on Orchard Road and pick up the Jumping Jewels new LP. On the live front, guitar bands were forming all over the place in response to the combined demands of an enthusiastic local audience and the enormous Commonwealth military presence on the island at that time. In retrospect it was something of a golden age for local music, a time of encouragement and opportunity for budding musicians. Amongst the bands honing their skills at such venues as the Golden Venus was a group of very talented youngsters who had titled themselves The Quests and who were fast making a name for themselves. The band’s fortune took a dramatic upturn in 1964 when they were spotted by EMI, for whom they wrote and recorded an instrumental called Shanty. To their delight it quickly topped the Far Eastern hit parade and kick-started them on a professional career that has now passed into Singaporean musical folklore. Their story begins in 1961 with four teenage friends who used to meet to share their interest in the music of Paul Anka, Johnny Tillotson and The Ventures.

  • 1 This Was the Year That the Shadows Appeared As Singers Before a Pan
    1975 This was the year that The Shadows appeared as singers before a pan-European audience. The earlier 1973 initiative had not produced the desired outcome and by 1974 they were in the wilderness and did not exist as a viable group. They got together to perform at the Palladium on 27 October of that year as a personal tribute to and for the benefit of the widow of BBC producer Colin Charman. BBC boss Bill Cotton heard them and suggested that they might like to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest the following year. They accepted, formed a working ensemble, and undertook a few local ‘practice’ gigs while preparing and practising the songs. The chosen song, [254] LET ME BE THE ONE, was one of six put forward for the UK’s entry in the Eurovision Contest of 1975, and was the last of the contenders performed over six successive weeks on Lulu’s BBC TV show at the start of the year. It was duly televised in Stockholm on 22 March but came in second to Dutch group Teach-In’s lyrically challenged ‘Dinge-Dong’ ~ English title ‘Ding-A-Dong’ (“Ding- A-Dong every hour,/ When you pick a flower …”), which impressed the British public sufficiently to enjoy a seven-week residence in the Singles charts (climbing to No.13). No such good fortune attended the release of The Shadows’ follow-up to their charting Eurovision Single, another piece from the same composer, the staggeringly inane, hopelessly unamusing [266] RUN BILLY RUN (“Closed my eyes, I tried countin’ sheep,/ Desp-rate Dan just looked like Bo-Peep,/ I can’t sleep”).

  • 'Talk of the Town', And, Later in the Year, in Cabaret Wi
    1966 The group appeared with Cliff for a six-week spell at London’s ‘Talk Of The Town’, and, later in the year, in cabaret without Cliff at Bournemouth and South Shields. But they were with him for three further major projects, the films ‘Finders Keepers’ and (as puppets) ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’; and also (in the flesh) the pantomime ‘Cinderella’ which opened at the London Palladium on 10 December 1966. For all three, the first two especially, they penned a number of finely crafted vocal and instrumental pieces, which resulted in eponymous releases, an LP (which made No.6), an EP (No.6 again), and another LP put out in January 1967 (a mere No.30 for Cinderella , a very uneven set, the first Cliff Album not to make the Top 20). The high points for Cliff and The Shadows in the Singles department were the outstanding ‘Time Drags By’ (No.10) and ‘In The Country’ (yet another No.6), both group compositions. The Shadows fared less well with their own Singles, the first and third of which were vocals: [138] I MET A GIRL (No.22), [154] A PLACE IN THE SUN (No.24), [156] THE DREAMS I DREAM (No.42). [138] I MET A GIRL was eminently hummable, if not in the league of “a Rubber Soul outtake”, to which one reviewer likened it; nobody appears to have stopped to reflect that the elegant [154] A PLACE IN THE SUN, released in July, might have been wholly out of line with current market trends, as a glance at the Top 20 for the beginning of August, say, will reveal; as it happened though, Hank Marvin’s [156] THE DREAMS I DREAM, the most commercial-sounding by far and a composition that compares favourably with his later favourite [203] THE DAY I MET MARIE, was the one that gave them their lowest chart placing to date; it would be recorded by Cliff Richard without The Shadows on the 1968 Album Established 1958 .
