THE SOUNDS
OF SIMON
A Tribute to Simon
and Garfunkel
Old Friends Duo Tour
The Sounds of Simon is a
tribute to the wonderful music
of Simon and Garfunkel. The
Old Friends Duo tour is how
the songs are meant to be:
just two voices and one guitar.
This is the music of Simon
and Garfunkel up close and
intimate.
Relive the classics, from
Mrs Robinson, to Homeward
Bound, as well as some rarely
heard songs like A Most
Peculiar Man, and A Poem
on the Underground Wall.
Paul Simon is a wonderful
songwriter and this is your
chance to hear these songs as
they were originally performed.
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.
