THE PAUL SIMON STORY

The UK's no.1 Paul Simon tribute band “Shades of Simon” will be returning with their highly acclaimed 2 hour theatre style show "The Paul Simon Story" in tribute to Paul Simon as one of the best songwriters and performers of his generation to the National Trust's Flatford Mill in July 2024.

With 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 through to his Graceland tour in the 1980's, this is a show that appeals to all generations.

The performance will include early Simon & Garfunkel hits that have endured the test of time like Homeward Bound, The Sound of Silence, Mrs Robinson and Bridge Over Troubled Water, through to the infectious South African rhythms of Paul Simon’s Graceland tour and his biggest solo success, You Can Call Me Al.

The concert will be held in the gardens at the National Trust Flatford Mill adjoining the River Stour against the backdrop of the wonderful 18th Century Old Granary building.

It is suggested people bring their own picnic food and drink plus garden chairs or rugs. In addition, the National Trust cafe will be open for tea, coffee and snacks and bottled alcoholic drinks. Toilet facilities available nearby.

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 river.

The concert should finish around 9:30pm. It'll just be getting dark by then so we recommend you bring a torch!

This is an open air event and the concert will go ahead whatever the weather, so please come suitably prepared!

Free parking available after 5pm in the National Trust car park approx 200 yards from the Gardens.
