What about the musical Local Hero ?

I encourage you to ask Guy in his forum. Looks like i'm the only one asking, so the only one who cares. Maybe is needed that we show more interest on this in his forum?

Please do it!

Maybe I'll try :)

When my kids were little I used to watch the main actress from the Local Hero musical on TV a lot.

Mark could do an instrumental cover of an ABBA song if he wanted to, not singing though. Mike Oldfield has covered ABBA's Arrival on his album QE2. Benny & Bjorn are amazing song writers and musicians, I asked Guy if they had met them, and it seems like they have!! Agnetha and Frida are 2 of the greatest singers ever. Don't forget Guy had written for Frida too.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

I don’t mind a bit of Abba. I like their song “our last summer” quite a lot. As a teacher by trade, I find their song “When I Kissed the Teacher” a weird and creepy title.

Phil mcgarrick, who I follow on YT has done some really excellent ABBA Instrumentals all in a Shadows/Hank style....

Guy 'co-wrote' the title track from her album 'Shine'

Thanks for mentioning him. I hadn’t come across the channel before. Very similar to Dave Monk (with the channel old guitar monkey) who I’m sure you’ve come across before. Lots of Hank Marvin influenced sounds. While they are both very good players, I think I prefer Dave Monk’s song choices a bit more. I had a listen to a few of Phil’s songs and don’t think they all work for solo guitar. Piano Man is one of my favourite songs ever and to be honest, I don’t think it works on electric guitar.

Glad you enjoyed some of Phil's tracks. Personally I have listened to Mr Monk but I prefer Phil's playing to Dave's....both very good I hasten to add

They’re both excellent players. I’m not enough of a guitar player to differentiate who is better. They both have nice instruments and loads of talent.

I agree they are both very good players but again its Phil's phrasing and consistent use of 'Hammer ons' I really enjoy - his playing is very reminiscent of Hanks...
