Britain's What's On Event Guide
Concert : The Paul Simon Story
THE PAUL SIMON STORY
The show is performed in tribute to Paul Simon as one of best songwriters of his generation and blends an engaging narration, exceptional musicianship from the 5-piece band, and authentic renditions of the best of his songs from his time in Simon & Garfunkel in the 60’s (Homeward Bound, Sound of Silence, Bridge over troubled water etc) through to his Graceland tour in the 1980’s (Still Crazy after all these years,You can call me Al).
The band is comprised of professional level musicians who all share a love for Paul Simon's music and get together each Summer to do a limited number of Performances of 'The Paul Simon Story' at venues which have ranged from the majestic Knebworth House (home of many of the original 1970’s pop festivals!), picnic concerts for the National Trust at Wimpole Hall, Scotney Castle and Flatford Mill, and shows at provincial theatres and arts centres throughout the East of England. You can read unsolicited testimonials on our website at shadesofsimon.com
The show will be performed on the terrace against the backdrop of the house, with the picnic area occupying the adjacent lawns of the main garden. This will be a fairly small intimate picnic concert with numbers limited to 160. Please bring your own picnic chairs or rugs, and picnic hamper with food and drinks. This is an open air event and the concert will go ahead whatever the weather, so please come suitably prepared!
