The UK’s no.1 Paul Simon tribute band “Shades of Simon” will be bringing their highly acclaimed 2 hour show “The Paul Simon Story” to the Maltings Ely in June 2025.
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 (the renowned 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 from audiences on their website at shadesofsimon.com
Join us and re-live the iconic vocal harmonies and music reminiscent of the 60’s folk rock era and the authentic sound of Paul Simon’s songs which have now spanned the generations for over 50 years!
