Hank Marvin

Hank B. Marvin (born Brian Rankin, October 28 1941, Newcastle upon Tyne, England) is the lead member of guitar group The Shadows. The Shadows are considered to be Britain's most influential band before the era of The Beatles. As a youngster, he played the banjo and the piano. Hearing one of Buddy Holly's songs made him switch to the guitar. At the age of 16, he travelled with his friend Bruce Welch to London where he met Cliff Richard at the Two I's Coffee Bar. This started up his career as a professional guitar player. Although neither Hank Marvin nor the Shadows were ever well known in the United States, Marvin is nonetheless listed by Frank Zappa as an early influence on the first Mothers of Invention album.
