New "Hank Marvin" Mattessons Advert

[Sleepwalker63]

Just seen this on TV:

[David Martin]

How are the mighty fallen?

[GoldenStreet]

Oh dear, and complete with Tuffers voiceover!

Bill

[John M]

Ach. Who needs coolness when you can continue to collect royalties on a tune 50+ years old.

[Stratpicker]

Wouldn't it be Jerry Lordans state who got any Royalties?
Its a FUN advert that, for a change, doesn't have pointless and too often tuneless computer generated "music".
Cheers

How are the mighty fallen?

Who - Hank or Phil Tuffnel ?

[noelford]

Currently popular 'stars' (Bruce Willis for example) are happy to do commercials, so shouldn't Shad's fans be very happy to see the advertisers putting their faith in their music to sell their product to a contemporary market?

[hbmartin]

I'm sure Hank was paid very well for the use of his name and reputation. The Shads also would have been be paid well for the use of their recording no doubt.

[The Midnight Special]

I'm pretty sure that voice isn't actually Phil Tuffnell. Very similar though.
