HANK MARVIN

[bertbass]

Only saw this today and didn't realise it's been out since June 2012. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcM3xOvb82o[/media]

Brilliant!!

Wouldn't make me eat chicken though, it's fowl!

[WhoNeedsYou]

That kid looked scarily like Mr driveshaft/hetty wainthrop/Hobbit himself, Dom monaghan!

[Donnyboy]

I like it, not the chicken, or whatever it is being advertised!

[Hobbayne]

My mother in law and Mrs Hobbayne didnt get it. I had to explain it to them.

[yepmop]

Very funny

[EssentialTension]

I lost track of what was being advertised but I must listen to some Shadows later.

When I started playing, The Shadows was really the only band to aim for.

I like the advert but not the idea of selling dog treats to children.

[jezzaboy]

Top band the Shads.

Nuff said.

Move along now.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Great ad

Likewise we used to practise the walk in my mates front room where his mum had a big mirror

The follow-up ad has loads of Eartha Kitts.
Vile processed chicken feet.

Hank Marvin is God.

I thought he was a Jehovah's Witness.

I'm fine thanks, I've just eaten.

Errr, this advert is about 4 months old. Shadows...mmm...no connection for me. Did some good work by supporting Burns but playing Fender on record. I think Hank had the same monkey glands injected into him at that Swiss clinic that Cliff did back in the 80's.

I don't ever listen to adverts but if this one is Hank Marvin = Starvin' then Eartha Kitt = sh!t?

Surely not a very good endorsment of one of their own "products"

In his book 'Pearls and Crazy Diamonds - Fifty Years of Burns Guitars 1952 - 2002' author Per Gjorde suggests the opposite - that Marvin was recording with Burns as early as the 'Dance On' recording (Page 80).

It is certainly evident to those au fait with the early Shadows sound that there is a big change in tonality around this time and that while the Shads continued to appear with Fenders, only changing when 'Rise & Fall of Flingel Bunt' came out in 1964, they were using Burns in the studio and, in fact, recorded more tracks with them than they had with Fenders.
