I will Venture to say that these guys are Not in the Shadows of anyone, but rather rocketing like sputniks to outer space with outstanding musicianship and preserving a very important and popular art guitar idiom.;;
I'm so happy all of a sudden and do you know why???????????? No HOUSE or RAP and other shit!!! This is the real music like we want, yes I'm from the fifties and have consciously experienced the real 60s and 70s etc., a pity that time has gone so fast, at least I think so, but what could I like to go back to that time in the 70s, my happiest time of all time. Can only say one thing "chapeau" and it was amazing!!! People may disagree with me but that doesn't bother me, it's about the experience!!!
Proper music and talent collapsed in the late 80's when cop out rubbish like rap came along and horrible sounds created on a computer too... no talent at all required ... just get rich quick and play off the gullible public !
@@janinapalmer8368 Correctly answered! if you have a little brain and most of those rap boys and girls have!!, then you can make this kind of crap like house and rap and more of that junk and the crazy thing is they have and get followers too, they called themselves "fans", but yes they can also be counted among those with just a little too little IQ because they all missed the exit when these important brain parts were handed out during their development in the womb.
Hey Jez. I am from Hong Kong. The Shadows Greatest Hits was the first LP I bought. I did well at school in the 60s and my dad bought me an electric guitar: a Hofner sunburst. I got expelled from school for not passing exams because I was too playing the guitar. Guess where I ended up, LIVERPOOL. I am 71 now with grand childen. Haha funny how music changes your life.
@@digitalpau2347 Hi. Did guitar playing take you to Liverpool ? I am 70 in three weeks and with grandchildren too. My passion from the 60s on was playing drums. Not much now. I do play piano, keyboards, drums and now learning bass guitar. Music is still very much my passion and in touch with several musicians around the world. If I can I will send you a link to one of them. Regards. Jez.
I am 61 years old now and from The Netherlands. When I first heard The Shadows with Apache I was hooked on this kind of music. Also the Ventures, The Spotnicks and more of those guitar groups. Also surf music is great. And this group....outstanding
Nice to see The Spotnicks get mentioned alongside The Shadows and the Ventures! I love all of their music, some great stuff. I'm very impressed with The Toe Tappers, they are right up there with those classic groups!
Great version of genie with the light brown lamp! I used to listen to that on my mum's portable record player back in 1965 when I was about 6 years old.
Burns Marvin's and Vox AC 30s. Wow this takes me back to 1964 when I was gigging with this stuff! 🙂 Then the Beatles arrived and we all changed course. Perfect recreation of the sound and very polished. Well done lads. 👏👏👏 🙂🎸
@@paulwatson9217 Well I'm a lefty myself. I have a Squier Classic Vibes ( Indonesian make ) and get good tones actually. Plug it into a Marshall 30 amp and vintage echo/ digital delay from Behringer. I'm 64 and lead guitar. All of us in the group are 60+ and silver haired. Shadows are my gods since I was 14.
Late to the party - what a fantastic set of young musicians - the drummer is unbelievably good - I grow up with The Shadows and love their music - more please!
WOW..! love these guys..just got it dead right..close my eyes and Hank is just there..just need a Cliff singer ..!! and all playing Burns Guitars...cool
You guys are absolutely awesome, a musician and guitar player myself I have to say your whole performance was just spot on I didn't pick one slip-up. Keep on moving forward men you might just save the music world before it's to late with all the talentless talent out there we need more musicians like you. God bless and thanks again. tones1957 (New Zealand)
Ventures / Shadows / It had to come back as we recycle the music that lay hidden all of these years. Right down to the drum beats. For me, this is a flash back. For the younger crowd, this is totally new. Gotta love that reverb and twang bar work, Rock on. dcb
fantastic guitar playing ,it brings me back to the early surf music ,the drummer is also very good in keeping up with the guitars .This is a very good band , i will be searching for their music on cd .
I’m so glad that this current rock band of young generations embrace the instrumental music of the ‘60s and more. More power to The Foot Tappers, and God bless you four. I like your playing style. My favorites are: The Shadows, The Ventures, The Eagles (UK), The Fireballs, and The Foot Tappers.
Avec des copains nous étions tellement accrochés à ce style de musique que nous avons créé un petit orchestre, malheureusement très éphémère, et identique à celui des Shadows. Ce petit orchestre, c'est l'un des plus beaux souvenirs de ma folle et heureuse jeunesse ...
Very clean sound, bringing back that twang, the band works incredibly well together, I am thinking that lead player has such a mature technique for such a young player.
Foot Tappers. Yes, sort of musical group descendants of American "Ventures" and British "Shadows" of 50's and 60s. I'm 66 years old and we have also local group like that from the Philippines before in the 1960's. The musical band called The Electromaniacs. 👍🎶🎸🥁🎵
These guys are rather more than a Shads’ tribute band. They played a number of times at Bruce Welch’s Shadomania, and I’m pretty sure that the lead player was one of three(?) lead guitarists at various times in Bruce Welch’s Shadows, in effect taking the Hank Marvin role. The first number on this video is a slight reworking of a Shadows’ piece, which I have (somewhere!) on a cassette, along with Change Of Address and Stack-It - I can’t remember the title of this one. As you see they are all playing Burns instruments which the Shadows used and promoted in the mid-60s.
"they are all playing Burns instruments which the Shadows used and promoted in the mid-60s." Not really. The Shadows' career took off when they started playing Fender guitars. Hank Marvin was among the first to play the now legendary Stratocaster, while Jet Harris had the luck and honor to introduce the first Fender bass guitar in England. That said, I must say I like the sound of the Burns guitars as much as I like the sound of the Strats. Of course, the amps also played a major role. Anyhow, Billy Kuy from the original line-up of the Outlaws played a Burns guitar and his sound is unbeatable. Try "Husky Team," for instance.
They began with cheap guitars, then got Fenders. They went over to Burns in about 1964, which they helped to promote via a Hank Marvin signature issue, and a ‘Shadows Bass’, played by John Rostill - then they went back to Fenders later. It is well documented and I recall it clearly. Marvin is alleged to have had the first Strat imported (not yet marketed in UK) into UK, bought for him by Cliff Richard.
Hank Marvin co-designed the guitars with Jim Burns, the scroll on the headstock was his idea. Jim Butns, a brilliant guitar designer but always a poor businessman sold the Burns company in 1965 to Baldwin and wasn't allowed to use his own name on guitars he designed. He put out guitars under various names over the years while Baldwin made inferior guitars then dropped making guitars altogether. All Hank Marvin's Burns guitars were stolen from a van outside a gig in 1979 and Burns guitars were not available until Barry Gibson, a skilled luthier in his own right, bought the Burns name sometime in the 1980s. He employed Jim as a consultant and resurrected Burns guitars. I believe he has now sold the company but Burns guitars are still being made. Sadly Jim Burns passed away some years ago. He was a true pioneer of the electric guitar
@@Rog107 I would like to recreate Billy Kuy's sound, so I wrote to him to let me know details about his Burns guitar and Truevoice amp. He graciously responded and I now know what he used when he recorded Dream of the West. But it may be a wild goose chase. I'd give quite a lot to recreate that sound, particularly on the Husky Team track.
Vox amps ; Burns guitars ; AND a Southpaw ... Wholesome, Clean cut Youths in matched suits , moving in step ... setting your Toes a'tapping - - - What's Not to Like !
Great to see, and with those Burns Marvin's too. Great lead guitar with nice delay, and the rhythm guitar chord work Real Good also, in fact the whole Rhythm Section- awesome Guy's
Hello friends, I'm from Tijuana, Mexico, and I'm a musician, just like you, I'm 64 years old. And a few times I had the opportunity to play Apache and some of The Ventures I'm still in force and I make my own recordings Greetings from Mexico
Great to see a band not dressed in ridiculous clothes , jumping around like demented frogs ,just letting their guitars do the talking, ..great VOX amps as used by another great brit group the Beatles, and love those Burns guitars.......
молодцы хорошо играете наш ансамбль всё это играл в 70 годы точно на такой аппаратуре правда гитары были другие музимы немецкие и музыка немножко по другому звучала т.е. оранджировка ещё раз спасибо за музыку вспомнил молодость
Extraordinary young band. Great music even though a take off from the Shadows. The guitars model? really have a superb tone IMO. The VOX amps really dish out the sound. And the guys looking sharp certainly. Not sure if this is recent 2022 group? Yeh drummer looks maybe 14.
The guitars used are all a British brand " Burns Guitars". The Shadows used Burns guitars along with the strat. In fact there is a Burns Marvin signature guitar model. The tone of the guitars was crafted by Marvin along with Burns.
Although the Shads had a simple line-up and straightforward sound, very, very few bands have been able to recreate their unique sound. Which proves that the perceived simplicity was deceptive. It's very hard to bring this sound to life. These gentlemen are masters at their game. Wonderful performance, wonderful sound and that great guitar sound would be nowhere without the drums that add a true Brian Bennet touch. Bravissimo !
Burns guitars
Vox amps
The shadows dance
I can watch this all night long on repeat
Great band
Great tunes
Sheer quality
Not sure, are these guitars the burns bison model.wonderful sound.
This is the way music should be. Polished, well rehearsed and matching attire. Oh, and descent!
I will Venture to say that these guys are Not in the Shadows of anyone, but rather rocketing like sputniks to outer space with outstanding musicianship and preserving a very important and popular art guitar idiom.;;
I still love this music 🎶...ventures shadows....brilliant young musicians are embracing old music..that won't go away...
I'm so happy all of a sudden and do you know why????????????

Fully agree with you
I so agree with you. Rap is not music. It's noise with violent words tagged to make the dipshits sound tough.
😂😂😂 ...calm down! I feel the same! 😄😄
It's so nice to hear a group who is willing to play instrumental music 🎵 for a change.
It's great to see a band carry on in the style of The Ventures and The Shadows.
Are they an older or younger group than the shadows or ventures?
@@yootoober2009 Younger. Shadows and Ventures were early 1960s.
Hopefully real music will make a comeback.
Especially young guys like these keeping tyhe tradition going!
Great comparison. I was trying to spot this band.Perfect
Matching suits, matching guitars, nice sound, nice moves - good show!
YEP and BOOTS!
MUST HAVE SHOPPED IN DALLAS
Absolutely fantastic sounds from this band they deserve more airtime .timeless music 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic instrument playing - guitars and drums. I grew up loving and listening to the Shadows. Marvellous tribute to that era.

I am huge fan of metal and hard rock but these guys remind me The Shadows and their amazing music.
I am so glad to hear The Shadows too. I was beginning to think I was the only one ..lol.
There is a very good reason they remind you of the Shads. I think everybody can see and hear it 😅
@@Steve-gc5nt Yes I knew it was a daft comment once I watched the whole thing but I got side tracked and did not delete it .Oh well..😂
You mean The Ventures
@@GG-ku1gz Nope ,they were good but the Shadows are forever.😁
What a great sound ,and that lead player is something else 🎸
Excellent golden oldies style guitar band. 🙂👍 And the guys are really good and unassuming type gents.
Very cool. 👍
Great version of genie with the light brown lamp! I used to listen to that on my mum's portable record player back in 1965 when I was about 6 years old.
Top quality group with authentic Shadows sound. All great musicians. A pleasure to listen to.
Burns Marvin's and Vox AC 30s. Wow this takes me back to 1964 when I was gigging with this stuff! 🙂
Then the Beatles arrived and we all changed course.
Perfect recreation of the sound and very polished. Well done lads. 👏👏👏 🙂🎸
Un groupe de grande qualité,des super musiciens
En live ils sont irréprochables
You could play this in the background anywhere, and no-one would complain...very easy listening.
Awesome tone from the Burns guitars! Authentic shadows sound recreated. Wonderful ! And the lead guitarist is a southpaw!
Yes the left handed Burns was easy enough to get the problem was finding a left hand amp to play through they are like hens teeth :-)
Could tell which is lead

Absolutely fantastic lads, don't ever stop, and another thing you look so smart, nice one.

Me parece un gran grupo. Tocan como los mejores. Muy buenos.
Never heard of these guys before but they're really good. Great sound, great show!
This is awesome. I love the '60s style instrumentals. Brings back great childhood memories. Thanks for sharing.
I didn’t know what to expect, but that was excellent.
What a nice bit of throwback. Very tight, obviously b****y well rehearsed. You gotta get an album out - you owe it to people!
Surf Music will never die!!!
Love it. Would be great if this came back. Melodic music to 'tap your feet' to. Brilliant.

Its so nice to see youngsters play the music I grew up with.

You guys are absolutely awesome, a musician and guitar player myself I have to say your whole performance was just spot on I didn't pick one slip-up.

I especially like how the guitarist's sway back and forth like they use to in the 1960's.
They are exceedingly well rehearsed.

First tune is called ”Fender Bender” by the Shadows.

The world is returning to normal. Hopefully.

I think the guitars are from the brand BURNS.
Saw a clip from the honeycombs were they are playing the same models.also did the shadows

It's very hard to bring this sound to life. These gentlemen are masters at their game.
