The show has delighted theatre audiences up and down the UK for the past three years with its note-perfect reproduction of the award-winning harmonies of the duo, as well as the much-publicised friction between the two singers.

In all, the two hour show covers over 25 hits from four decades, including Mrs Robinson, You Can Call Me Al, The Sounds of Silence and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Steve Green and Ben Bowden, who play the duo on stage, have been described by music writers as ‘the world’s best Simon and Garfunkel tribute’ and their full band show as ‘a musical feast for anyone who loves the songs of Paul Simon’. To mark the show coming to Telford, The Sounds of Simon will be featuring on BBC Radio Shropshire this Saturday 10th November at 10.30am. Listen out!

Ben was also recently featured on BBC’s The One Show, performing as Paul Simon and talking about Paul’s visit to England in 1965. It was on this trip that Paul reputedly wrote his hit, Homeward Bound. This hit also features in the show.

This is the first time the band have played at Oakengates Theatre. Ben said: “We’re really looking forward to bringing the show to Telford and Wrekin.”

The 2012 Old Friends Tour started in January and will continue throughout 2012.
