I make no claims as to expertise on this subject, but I'm now coming up to 74 years old and I still rate the Shadows as the greatest instrumental group of all time. Vocals not so much, but instrumentally they're ace!
43 agree, the shadows was all my father listened to when I was a kid and they're so unique, mark Knopfler said he idolised Hank as a kid and still wishes he could get a guitar to sound like Hank can, that's some high praise
Fully agree with you, there will never be a group like the Shadows ever. They're the greatest, match made in heaven. ❤❤❤❤ Idol for life 🎼🎶🎸 bless you for entertaining us with the best of music. 💯% 👏👏👏📀📀📀
I've been following the Shadows since the early 1960s. Boasting the skill of the soloist Hank Marvin is too easy: he was a teacher for many self-taught guitarists. Here, on the other hand, I want to exalt the virtues of drummer Brian Bennet and Bruce Welch on rhythm guitar, who have always played without excess, in order to leave the soul and touch of the soloist in absolute evidence. To them my great esteem.
I’ve been A FAN ever since they came on the scene. IM NOW 82 yrs young and I STILL ENJOY THEIR MUSIC. Going home is a song at my FUNERAL along side two more. ALBATROSS????
And I’m just starting to learn and play their music (68 yrs old) I’m on my 4th tune and wishing I started a long time ago instead of playing the tennis racket 😂😂 in the bedroom while listening to the record player

What a fabulous piece of music, played here by one of the very best bands. These guys are absolutely amazing and their output over the decades (even with some changes in line up) has been prodigious. Thanks guys for all the fantastic sounds you have given us to enjoy. Love this.
When was 16.I used listen to 9.00pm broadcast on my transistor radio. Hanks Fender guitar was one of the most fabulous sounds I've ever heard. As an instrumental group they will always be the forerunner & Best for me
In the 60s, they were very successful in Italy and, above all, they taught many self-taught guitarists; there was no count of the bands playing their songs. Really good, and besides, the touch of the soloist Hank Marvin is unique!
15 when I first heard them in 1960, probably on radio Luxembourg. Love their sound, never tire of listening to them, no other band like them just brilliant.
Iconic instrumental music lives on forever as the Shadows will always be the number one in instrumental music . Very soft soft and pleasing to you . Congratulations :Shadows your music will live on for Eternity !!
Hank Marvin. I' am nearly 70 by now and I think its about time to give my opinium. You and your band play the most agreable music ever in all those years! Thank you.

I have listened to the shadows for the past 55 yesterday never missed a Yr they keep me feeling young, this tune will play me out from the departure lounge when the time comes to say I'm going home to my maker.
I saw them live back in the late 80s here in Palmerston North, NZ (believe it or not). They were simply spellbinding and I've been a huge fan of theirs ever since they started. They were the benchmark for many instrumental groups.

Great performance and a great cover version of Going home. Musicians with style, elegant vision and behavor. You are wonderful boys even at this age. You are unique.
No doubt about them, the sound, feeling and love of their music never ceases to please me. I was a drummer and lead singer with my brothers in our band "The Shadows" until Hank and the boys came along and everything changed. There were so many guys trying so hard to copy the incredible sound of Hanks guitar, we came very close but didn't quite make it like many others. We were lucky to see "The Shadows" in their first visit to Australia at the Sydney stadium, they started playing their first instrumental was "Shazam" and the rest I don't think we ready heard any more as we were so entranced by just been there not believing we were just a stones throw from them. Are well the rest is history as I look back and remember all the wonderful times we've played instrumentals by "The Shadows" during many shows we done in over 50 years of entertaining our many fans an lovers of 'The Shadow" wonderful music, I'm pretty sure every show we ever did started off with a Shadows instrumental.
My lovely late husband Bernard Wakefield loved the Shadows and on the day of his funeral I played Going Home by The Shadows for him but it meant so much to.me too I just was an emotional wreck when I played it on his onward voyager journey. I still cry when this plays..... Absolutely awesome piece of music
Epoustouflant ! Cet homme est un prodige, il fait carrément "parler" sa guitare, avec les intonations qui conviennent... A travers elle, il transporte et traduit des émotions bouleversantes... Bravo au groupe "The Shadows" qui a su nous faire rêver et merveilleusement danser pendant des décennies...
Sono d'accordo, che qualunque brano suona Hank , con le sue dita , diventa un gioiello.... In questo caso non è del brano del Shadows , ma di Mark Knofler, e l' esibizione della chitarra elettrica di Hank , si supera l' originale . Lui con la Sua chitarra , parla e carezza , come fosse una donna .Non ci sentiamo a d'osso.
Hank hoy por hoy es el mejor primera guitarra del mundo en su genero, indiscutible su alta precisión y perfección depurada y exacta, tiene la belleza de sus interpretaciones en sus mágicas manos.
I remember one of my schoolmates trying to play ''Foot Tapper'' while travelling to school on the bus in 1963. Who would have thought that the Shadows would still sound as good nearly 60 years later!
Dire Straits “Alchemy”,live album version,with the guitar and saxophone duet at the end is,in my humble opinion,the most awesome version ever! You can’t beat the sound of a live audience interacting with the band! Goosebumps,every time.
Brian Bennet must be one of the best drummers around - his style and music capability cannot be faulted - Superb from the shadows and including Brian Bennet
Hank Marvin - wirtuoz gitary a cały The Shadows gra wspaniale mimo,że te kawałki są równie stare jak ja o ile jeszcze nie starsze.Super muza - tak trzymać panowie.
Well, that is not quite true, is it? Mark Knopfler wrote the piece and performed it, so I'd say The Shadows are not the only ones who could give us something like this. But you're right in the respect that it's a great group with Hank Marvin as leader.

After many years of listning to the shadows, they are still the best by far.
There are so many things into todays Britain, that make me ashamed, but this restores my faith.
One of the Best Instrumental Group in the world. Forever The Shadows The Legend.

72 without a shadow of doubt. Life long addict of this super group. Do my best to emulate Hank’s playing
My first favourite band as a boy 🙏 Still one of my top five favourites and number one instrumental of all time
Absolutely brilliant. Mark Knopfler can write them and the Shadows can play them.
