Show brings 60s hit makers back together

- Donald Morton

It has been more than 50 years since the most successful folkrock duo of all time recorded their first No1 hit single.

Next month fans of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel will be able to take a trip down memory lane at the Albert Halls when The Simon and Garfunkel Story comes to the city.

Having performed to sold-out audiences in more than 50 countries across the world from Sydney to Seattle, it is currently the biggest and the most successful theatre show celebratin­g the lives and career of the musical legends Simon and Garfunkel.

Featuring a full cast of talented West End actormusic­ians, The Simon and Garfunkel Story takes fans back through the groovy times of the 1960s.

It tells the story of Paul and Art from their humble beginnings as rock and roll duo Tom and Jerry right through their massive success, dramatic breakup and finishing with a stunning recreation of the 1981 Central Park reformatio­n concert.

Using a huge projection screen, the show features 1960s photos and film footage while a full live band perform all their hits including ‘Mrs Robinson’, ‘Cecilia’, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘Homeward Bound’ and ‘Sound of Silence’.

The show is on at the Albert Halls on Thursday, October 25. Tickets are on sale at the box office on 01786 473 544.
