The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel.
Songs such as Mrs Robinson, The Only Living Boy In New York, The Sounds of Silence and Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard as well as countless others have established Paul Simon as one of the most successful songwriters of all time.
The Sounds of Simon is a full band show that takes in the full range of Simon and Garfunkel’s career together as well as drawing extensively from Paul Simon’s solo career. The band include songs such as Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover and Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes in the set, as well as older tunes like Homeward Bound and Cecilia. Newer tracks such as the award winning Father and Daughter from Paul Simon’s latest album bring the show bang up to date. There are sometimes some surprise solo Garfunkel numbers too.
“Paul” and “Art” are played by Ben Bowden and Steve Green respectively, who also play with the acoustic duo table nine. Their own original work has often been compared to Simon and Garfunkel’s for its close harmony and catchy writing.
The show has been touring since late 2006 and in that time has played to some rave reviews and adoring crowds. This promises to be a fantastic evening of wonderful music, and not to be missed
