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!

Please do not bring dogs, it is not a suitable environment for them, or for babies & young children. Any children must be closely supervised at all times and kept well away from the lake.

Gates open at 6:00pm. The concert starts at 7:00pm and should finish around 9:30pm. It'll just be getting dark by then so we recommend you bring a torch!

Ample free parking and toilet facilities available.

And we've arranged for a 'Molly's Lollys' ice cream van to be there during the interval serving Rossi ice cream,  ice lollies and soft drinks!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There is a short walk between the car park and the concert area.  If you  are a Blue Badge holder or have a disability that makes this difficult for you please do let us know in advance so we can make special arrangements for you to park closer.
