The Sounds of Simon
Saturday 29th November, 7.30pm
The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Simon & Garfunkel.
Lose yourself to nostalgia with such classics as Mrs Robinson, The Boxer, The Sound of Silence and Bridge Over Troubled Water, as well as all the others that have established Paul Simon as one of the most successful songwriters of all time.
Paul and Art are played to perfection, bringing in elements of their famously fractious relationship, as well as replicating the beautiful harmonies flawlessly. This is a wonderful show filled with excellent music, nostalgia and a genuine love for some great musicians. www.soundsofsimon.co.uk
