Latimer's mellow tone is almost a cross between Ackerman and Hank Marvin.




Yes!

Hank was such an influence on a generation of guitarists, though he's rarely referenced now.

They really know how to structure pieces, the classical influence is well to the fore.

Hank Marvin, lead guitar of The Shadows, an instrumental group, who were huge prior to the Beatles. Inspired a generation of British boys to take up a guitar or simply a cricket bat or tennis racket to pose with in the privacy of their bedrooms.

some of the vocal melody in this bears a passing resemblance to Al Stewart's Life In Dark Water, although this came first.
