Tuesday 28th April, 10.30pm - Neil McCormick’s Needle Time: Hank Marvin
The legendary Hank Marvin, lead guitarist of The Shadows and pioneer of a distinctive echo-laden sound, is given a place of honour in the Needle Time studio. In a fascinating interview about his six decades in music, he reveals how at the age of 16 with his first guitar he was introduced to a hip Soho scene. This was an eye-opener for a lad from Newcastle, and he went on to develop his trademark and unique way of playing, embark on an incredible collaboration with Cliff Richard, still a close friend, and produce a string of instrumental hits. And with a new album out, the creative juices are very much still flowing for this musician who has influenced some of the guitar greats.
