Testimonials

We saw Shades at the Commemoration Hall in Huntingdon on Saturday night. They were brilliant. The set list, music and singing were perfect,. The story of Paul Simon weaved around the songs was fascinating. Above all their obvious enthusiasm and enjoyment made the whole evening exhilarating. We’ve already booked to see them again. A truly magical evening.

Top class musicians and beautiful vocals, all interspersed with lots of interesting stories and anecdotes about Simon and Garfunkel. A really great show

Brilliant gig guys, the standing ovation at the end said it all!

We had a brilliantly fantastic evening, singing dancing and listening to a very talented band. Love to see you again.

The music is interspersed with an interesting narrative and all in all provides exceptional captivating entertainment.

Saw them last night at the Headgate Theatre, fabulous musicians who bring the infectious joy of Paul Simon’s first three decades of music along with interesting anecdotes from his life. Wonderful vocals with lovely harmonies. The whole sold-out audience was left happy and buzzing. I heartily recommend catching Shades of Simon and thank them for a brilliant evening.

The moment I heard that Colin and friends were putting together a band to celebrate the life and music of Paul Simon, I knew we were in safe hands.
