- Theme from a Summer place came from a 1959 film "A summer Place"
The Instrumental was made famous by Percy Faith who's version spent an at-the-time record of nine consecutive weeks at number 1 singles chart in early 1960. It remains the longest-running number-one instrumental in the history of the chart.
This version is based on Bruce Welch's Shadows version from Shadowmania 2012 Featuring Bruce Welch on Rhythm, Daniel Martin on lead guitar, Cliff Hall on keyboards, Alan Jones and Bob Watkins on Drums.
An equally great version featuring Phil Kelly on lead ( Bruce's main Lead guitarist) was one of the tracks from the 2008 Shadowmania.
My son Andrew made the Backing track for me (I played Bruces's part) available here as an instant buy it now download along with the FREE tabs

One of my favorite songs of all time. Such a pretty piece of music. 🥰
Many thanks Chloe :-) Very pleased you liked it... Cheers Phil
Once again a piece of music played with taste and real feeling, bringing back memories of happier times. Many many thanks.
Thanks very much Dan for those nice comments - I was waiting for my son to finish the BT for me which he started before Christmas - so I guess I knew the song well. Very glad you knew the song and liked my version.
All the best... Phil
Ahhhh! I love the easy, simple life of the early 60's. Reminiscing.
Yes I agree times were a lot more gentle then ! Phil
Beautifully played, one of my favourite tunes and you did it proud, thank you. 👍🙏
Beautiful rendition, thanks for memories
Very glad you liked it thanks for your good comments.. Phil
Hi, Phil !
This is arguably one of (if not THE) most beautiful melodies of all-time, and for all my rock tendencies, this tune remains a guilty pleasure.
Never really considered it for myself, as I wasn't sure I could do it justice, but you my friend, have aced it !
The perfect tone, nice slides and use of double stops, and you seem very relaxed playing it.
Gotta say BTU, and like "Shine", it's added to my faves.
Cheers, mate !
Dan.
This is a masterpiece of such a classic track.
l loved ♥ listening to this music ..Theme from a Summer Place.., and because it can really take me back in time..
Wow you are so Great Phil !!
Thank you so much Phil 😘😍😘😍😘😍😘..

Hi Phil,
This is one of those tunes that always puts a smile on my face.
No exception here either.
You soft yet precise playing made it a joy to listen to.
Have a good evening,
Dave
Thank you for reviving this theme so beautifully. I am 61 yo and have loved this piece since I was 5 yo or so. It has a magical spirit to it and never fails to bring my spirits up when I am feeling depressed. You have done a wonderful job playing this masterpiece. have a very happy and healthy Christmas.
Thank you very much Cuervo It is a classic song that is well liked - I'm pleased you liked my guitar version. - You too have a great Christmas - not far off now :-)
Cheers Phil

Hi Phil, this number was lost deep in my youth, but when I heard the Chorus the whole melody came flooding back to me, along with the memories, thanks Phil.
Regards your Friend, Mike.
Have yet to hear a bad version---one of the greatest instrumentals ever recorded.......
Thanks a lot Mitch - I agree it's a classic song from the era.
All the best.. Phil
My Dad grew up in the 60s, and this was one of his favorite songs. He passed away last month, and this was one of the songs (Percy Faith version) we played for him. Despite being sedated, he responded to it. I think he would've liked this version. Well done!
Sorry to hear about your Dad - glad he found enjoyment with Percy Faith's song. Kind regards.. Phil
Hi Lou - yes certainly an oldie surprising how many people remember it.
Thanks very much for your nice comments.
Cheers Phil
Hi Mike - very glad you liked this one - I was very impressed when Daniel Martin played this at Bruces Shadowmania last year so I pestered my son to make me a backing track for it.LOL
Many thanks for your nice comment.
Cheers Phil
It makes me so happy to see this because I associate this song with my grandma who passed on July 3, 2017. This was her favorite song and every now and then I’ll just come back to listen to it because it reminds me of her. Amazing job!
Glad it brings back good memories :-) Thanks for your nice comments.. Cheers Phil

Phil, I saw the film when it came out in '59 and have always loved the theme song.
Though I've listened to many renditions of it in the ensuing years, I've seldom enjoyed one as much as the treatment you have given it here. Absolutely perfect. Thank you.

Hi Phil hope you are having a great Christmas with the family.
I am crying as I write this message and listen to the summer place theme,(sorry to get emotional), We had a baby girl whom we adopted out back in 1968 for personal reasons. In 2009 we located her after 43 years living in Newcastle Sydney. We flew down there to meet her at the airport, it was a lovely summers day. The theme from a summer place you play is just the best, I listen to you play it most days as it reminds me so much of that day we reunited with our daughter.
Thanks so much Phil
Kev
