You ought to be a member of Actor's Equity.

You are an appropriate performer and membership could open the door to other types of work... including, but not limited to, acting.

How right you are Jim! I saw Justin's show at Witney last night and was most impressed.

Despite a late start (due to Justin having had a bad day although he didn't elaborate) the sound from the off was terrific. The work that he has put in to presenting this show all by himself (with the credited help of his partner) is difficult to comprehend. He has built an impressive light show to specifically accompany each number and his amiable presentation found favour with an almost full house.

It's hard to single out particular numbers but his Cavatina was played with great feeling and more string bends than Hank himself I think! His performance of the challenging A Tall, A Tall Dark Stranger on acoustic was faultless.

It was nice to be reacquainted after the show but I didn't outstay my welcome as it seemed the whole audience had lined up to congratulate him!

Well done Justin, I hope to see you again next time you are in the Swindon area.

Just got back from watching “Shadowing Hank” at Totton, Southampton.
What a great show it is, superb lighting, great sound and great entertainment.
Justin does well in keeping The Shadows music alive.

A quick final note on this thread to inform everyone of some diary changes:

Unfortunately the remaining Shadowing Hank shows in May have had to be postponed or cancelled due to health reasons. I am hopeful that all dates beyond May will go ahead as planned. Before the site is archived I am updating the OP to accurately display the shows that are currently on sale.

Thanks to everyone for your support. Please continue to follow Shadowing Hank. You can keep up to date with shows as they are announced by visiting the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ShadowingHank/

Hope to see you on the new ShadowMusic Facebook page.

All the best...
