Behind-the-scenes photos from our interview with legendary Queen guitarist Brian May — filmed just two days after Queen rocked Optus Stadium in Perth.
Brian’s genuine admiration and appreciation for Hank Marvin shone throughout the entire interview conducted by Ben Marvin. Then, midway through filming, Ben stepped aside and Hank took his seat — turning the interview into a relaxed chin wag between two true guitar legends, filled with stories, laughs, and mutual respect.
Brian May was actually the very first interview we filmed for @thehankmarvindocumentary — and with our next U.K. filming trip planned for August / September, we want to hear from YOU…
Who else absolutely needs to be interviewed to properly honour Hank’s incredible legacy?

Fun day filming with Hank and Ben today! 🎬
Plenty of laughs, banter, missed lines and bloopers while creating new promotional content for the upcoming bootleg DVD — plus a future fundraiser to help get us to the U.K for our August / September film shoot. 🇬🇧
Let the editing begin! 🧑💻 Stay tuned, Shadows friends 👀
