The Shadows 2004 tour
It
was during a hot summer day in June 1960 that THE SHADOWS entered
Abbey Road's Studio 2 to record 'Apache', the track that was
to become the instrumental hit of the decade. It shot to No.
1, became an instant classic and saw the start of a string of
over thirty hits – including another four No.1’s,
‘Wonderful Land’, ‘Kon-Tiki’, ‘Dance
On’ and ‘Foot Tapper’ - for the group who
pioneered the now familiar band line up of two guitars, bass
and drums. ‘Apache’ was also responsible for inspiring
a new generation of artists such as Eric Clapton, Dire Straits’
Mark Knopfler, Pete Townshend of The Who and Queen’s Brian
May to take up the guitar. THE SHADOWS quickly became instrumental
heroes; they developed a polished, crisp sound and had a unique
knack for drawing out the sweetest melodies in their most haunting
form.
