FINAL EUROPEAN TOUR
When I was a kid, all I wanted
was a red electric guitar. It had to be red because of Hank and his magical sound.
- The words of Mark Knopfler, recalling how as a young lad in Newcastle he dreamed of
becoming a guitarist just like his hero HANK MARVIN.
The 50 date British leg of the tour which was completely sold-out, began
on Saturday April 20th at The Festival Theatre Chichester and finished at the London
Palladium on Sunday June 16th.

BRIAN BENNETT who made a guest appearance on stage, replacing Fergus for Foot tapper and
Wonderful Land

Jet Harris News
 Diamonds are Trumps
Jet's new CD
"Diamonds are Trumps", featuring Bobby Graham (ex-Outlaws) is
now available and may be purchased from Leo's Den.
At Jet's request, Dave Holbrook and Dave Wheatley have again started up
the Jet Harris Fan Club Newsletter "A Fistful of Strings". Pictured above is the
first of six issues to be issued during the coming year. The aim will be to try to
include as many pictures as possible, there will be no Shadows content unless it directly
involves Jet; this should avoid overlapping with other publications such as SHADSFAX, HANK
MARVIN ECHO, PIPELINE etc.
Fees for six issues by post are : UK £12, EEC £15, Rest of World £17
UK subscribers may pay by cheque (made out to Mrs M Holbrook) but due to problems with
Eurocheques, payment from outside the UK must be CASH only.
Send payment to Mrs M Holbrook, 148 Wick Road, Brislington, Bristol, BS4 4HQ. For further
information. email jetharrisfanclub@hotmail.com

from the TV show recently repeated on BBC2. It is the first project to come from his own

for Rest of the World)

Brian's website to hear sound clips from this and other soundtracks.
