Hi There – Apache was the reason many people of a certain age picked up the guitar, the instrumental that shaped the early 1960s – with the unique sound of Hank Marvin’s guitar together with The Shadows.
The Shadows would go onto back British Rock N Roller Cliff Richard.
And Here’s Helena taking the Lead on Apache at Show #11, with Students Chris, Gary, Sohrab and Luke on Rhythm guitars….
This is the fourth time we have had Apache at Our Annual Show.. First Time was way back at Show Number 1, where our Show Guest Dave Whitmore played – Dave was also featured on BBC Radio’s 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster back in 2003..
Here’s Dave playing Apache on Fender heaven,
rubbing Musical shoulders with well known greats like Hank Marvin, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and
also playing live as Special Guest a Show Number 1 from way back…
