Andrzej Kadłuczka  Szwagry   and   The Shadows
         It so happened that Marek Jamrozy of the band Szwagry had to leave for military service. It also happened that Szwagry were to play at the Sala Kongresowa (Congress Hall) in Warsaw, at a concert together with the English guitar group The Shadows. Luck smiled on Andrzej Kadłuczka of Telstar, who at that time was standing in for Marek Jamrozy, the lead guitarist of Szwagry.
        A virtuoso player of The Shadows numbers - Marek Jamrozy - missed by two months a live meeting with those whose music he had played with great passion in a band very well known in Kraków at the time - Czarne Koty.

         Szwagry appeared in the first part of the concert - before The Shadows - on 11 October 1965.
        In the second part of the concert Szwagry could admire the Vox amplifiers, the Burns guitars and the unique sound of The Shadows. The event is documented by the material below.
