[Imre]

Hi all Ventures fans,

I am Imre from Hungary, and since I am retired I have enough time reading and listening my favorite band the Ventures and all bands following them around in the world.
Last year I have decided buying my dream Ventures guitar, finally I made a contact to Bob Shade and his Hallmark guitar, what I've found it the closest to the original Mosrite ones.
Now I am probably the very first man owning a real Ventures model guitar here in Hungary, Europe.
Since this spring we have formed an electric guitar band, named The Young Lovers, plying the tunes of the Ventures, The Shadows and The Spotnicks.

I have the Fire Sparkle Custom 60 model, later I can post you some pictures about it.

Here is a link with our first performance:

I hope, you like it.

Later more details, and now
Best Regards to all,

Imre

Welcome to the forum, Imra. How long have "The Young lovers" been playing? You guys sound good. Your strikingly attractive Hallmark in the band with the spotlights on it like that must surely have popular appeal, I think!
Do you know about this very good guitar player, also from Hungary? http://www.youtube.com/user/EugeneMago
