Assume it will get a general release on DVD quite shortly, or maybe just maybe it could be
shown on BBC4 some Friday night?
On second thoughts the latter might not happen as it is common knowledge that Don Wilson had
little time for any agents/promoters who might have approached him for a possible UK TOUR
outwith their Japanese commitments over the years.

Could be interesting but again purely American origination only Jimmy Page mentioned ,don`t forget The Shadows had hits before The Ventures .

Expat Tim 'Polecat' Worman, founder member of the rockabilly band, the Polecats, also features, although hardly in the Jimmy Page league of celebrities.

I... er... don't think I'll be going to a cinema in London E9 in a few weeks' time!

But I'd pay £3.99 to watch it on Sky Box Office.

Thanks for the info Bill. Don't know how much truth is in that blurb.
I am a Ventures fan though, but I'm afraid it's a bit too far for me
especially in these dreadful times.
