For more than 18 years, The Sounds of Simon has delighted theatre audiences across the UK and the world with its reproduction of the award-winning harmonies of the duo, and will bring their show to the Allendale Community Centre on Saturday, November 29.
Ben Bowden and Adam Ellis, who play the duo on stage, have been described by music writers as “the world’s best Simon and Garfunkel tribute”.

Ben, who started the tribute in 2006, said: “I have always loved the music of Paul Simon.
“Simon & Garfunkel’s Greatest Hits was one of the cassettes my family would agree on in the car.
“Paul is just the absolute business when it comes to song writing.
“Not a lyric out of place. It is a privilege to be able to play these songs each night.”
Adam, who plays Art Garfunkel on stage, joined in 2013 and enjoys the challenge of playing these songs.
“It’s great to take a songwriter as brilliant as Paul Simon and then show how a songwriter practises and develops his craft,” he said.
The two hour show covers all the hits released by the famous duo and Paul Simon over the course of a 30-year period.
