Eight Months to Mars - Hank Marvin

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 21 October 2013

After a chance meeting with Cliff Richard's manager in a Soho coffee shop, he and long time school mate Bruce Welch became part of Cliff's backing band, The Drifters. The Drifters were never much in Cliff's shadow, they weren't that kind of band, although they soon became known as The Shadows. Cliff changed his name from Harry Webb and Brian Rankin changed his name too, to Hank Marvin.
