simon and garfunkel through the years on Friday 13th September 2019
Ten Grammy Awards to their name, selling 38 million albums in the US alone, performing a concert to over half a million people in their hometown, inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the Folk-Rockers from Forest Hills, New York have had one of the most remarkable careers in music history.
If you loved their music throughout sixties and seventies… then we’ve got a show you simply cannot miss. Critically acclaimed to be one of the world’s greatest tribute shows, Simon & Garfunkel Through the Years perfectly relive the spectacular harmonies and wonderful vocals of the folk-duo.
Collectively known as Bookends, Dan Haynes and Pete Richards have been singing together since their days in high school… familiar to how their idols first met too. For years they’ve been performing together, touring across the UK, Europe and the United States – with stops in London’s West End and consecutive sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Don’t miss out on all the legendary classics, such as Mrs. Robinson, The Boxer, The Sound of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and even hits from Paul Simon’s solo career such as Call Me Al, Kodachrome and 50 Way to Leave Your Lover and so much more!
Simon & Garfunkel Through the Years – a musical masterpiece!
