The Shadows’ long and influential career has spanned 6 decades, with hit singles or albums in every one of them. Hank Marvin’s guitar playing has been an inspiration to hordes of “wannabes” down the years, including the likes of Brian May, Eric Clapton and Pete Townshend. The band were presented with a Special Award at this year’s inaugural Mojo Awards.

Over a decade since their last tour, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett reunited as The Shadows for The Final Tour, which kicked off in spring 2004. A sell out everywhere, the band played to over 90,000 people in the UK. This concert was recorded at Cardiff’s International Arena on June 5.

The tracklisting includes an astonishing 23 top ten hits, of which no less than 8 were No.1’s, together with other favourite Shadows tracks.

The recent Shadows hits album Life Story, released to coincide with the tour, has been a huge success and has sold over 150,000 copies in the UK, charting at No.7, as testament to their ongoing popularity.
