 Introducing a new young talent from Australia V.J.King Jr. ""VJ King Jr -- is not the first nor will he be the last guitarist to have found inspiration from Hank Marvin / The Shadows music .... it's just nice to know that there ARE young guns (Zoe, Matilda, VJ et al) coming through in this next generation of kids that think enough of "that sound" to include it as part of their professional, public repertoire. And, so, the beat - the music - the pulse - the sound - and the legend of The Shadows lives on! While playing across many different genres of music, VJ inevitably includes Shadows numbers in his public performances. You will find a recent demo - a definite Shadows classic - The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt - at the following web address ..... http://www.heartbeatentertainment.com.au/Beat_bunt.htm "" A collection of 12 tracks from this talented young man from Sydney, showing a great talent for the guitar and covering many styles. "No less than 9 of these tracks are originals from the pen of UK ex-pat Peter Andrews, who is also VJ's Guitar Tutor. The other tracks have been given an up to date arrangement by Graham Lockwood."  01 Raining in my Heart, 02 Dream Island, 03 Ten out of Ten, 04 Shadow of a Dream, 05 Touchdown, 06 Song for Liz, 07 Chez Pierre 08 Into the Groove, 09 Sleepwalk. 10 Brazilian Moon, 11 Howdy Hank, 12 Junk. 
 "VJ was the protégé of Peter Andrews - a highly respected professional guitar tutor now residing in Australia. Andrews, who learned his craft in England during the late 1950s at the birth of rock 'n roll & the popularisation of the blues, was invited to a meeting at the family home in March, 1998. It was a watershed for Andrews and for the budding six-year old..." Whatever one's musical preference the chances are that, like the many accomplished musicians who have heard VJ play, you too may find it difficult to fathom how such a young musician can deliver such depth of feel and diversity of style...and with such uncanny maturity. Where will VJ King Jr. be in 5,10 or 15 years? Who knows. One thing, however, does appear certain... that he will be well and truly out of any shadow and casting his own upon a new generation of musicians and music lovers.
