Beatles connection
[edit]The info In 1965, Sir George Martin recruited Vic Flick and most of the original Goldfinger musicians to provide "James Bond"-sounding music for The Beatles movie Help! soundtrack....Seems to be false. I find no mention of this online but found that, in fact, it seem's he was hired by G Martin for the Hard Day's Night soundtrack (https://www.vintageguitar.com/15879/vic-flick-honored-by-national-guitar-museum/) JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 17:37, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- I've removed « In 1965, George Martin recruited Vic Flick and most of the original Goldfinger musicians to provide "James Bond"-sounding music for The Beatles movie Help! soundtrack. ». Ken Thorne is the composer an arranger. Flick might be the guitarist but this but it is not confirmed ! JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 15:40, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- I've rewritten the line about the pastiche...That is on Help! (see above), not A Hard Day's Night ! JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 14:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- This interview (https://somethingaboutthebeatles.com/2019/01/13/156-conversation-vic-flick-2/) seems to confirm the Help! recording. Unfortunately, its a podcast and a primary source (2 strikes !) JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 22:38, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Deleted info.
[edit]These bits were deleted, rightly so because they were not referenced. But they seem right (Flick confirms Tom Jones and Juke Box Jury in the interview - see above). I put these here for safe keeping until someone can corroborate them !
With the the John Barry Seven, he appeared on every episode of BBC television's short lived Drumbeat https://nostalgiacentral.com/music/music-on-film-and-tv/drumbeat/
Vic Flick was the guitarist for the song “Shout” by Lulu, and many more.
He has worked with many recording artists, including Burt Bacharach, Sandie Shaw, Crispian St. Peters, Hank Marvin, John Williams, Mark Wirtz, John Schroeder, Don Partridge, Typically Tropical and Don Lusher.
