As heard on BBC Radio
Introducing singer songwriters Tim Chu and Ian Bailey performing “A Celebration of Simon & Garfunkel- The UK’s leading non tribute show”. Now in its 12th year the show continues to please real music lovers up and down the country with a laid back set of arrangements that will take you back down memory lane.
The concert attracts old fans and new and continues to support the arts in rural communities.
Tim Chu has been a professional session musician for many years and his music features in TV, Film and Radio. He has loved the music of Paul Simon from a young age as the original LPs were constantly on his parents’ record player! Tim had the vision to put together an ambient show to take to real music lovers around the UK and enrolled the help of Lancashire born Ian Bailey to complete the duo. Ian has been a singer songwriter for many years with 3 critically acclaimed solo albums of his own material to date.
Together they blend in their own unique way without falling into the tribute act category. There will be no make-up, wigs or costumes – Just two talented musicians producing an ambient, up close and personal collection of some of the American duo’s much loved hits.
“Everyone loves the music of Simon & Garfunkel and for me no one has recreated it better than Tim and Ian, the concert simply blew me away” Phil Cool TV comedian, impressionist and musician…
“Tim and Ian capture the ‘Simon and Garfunkel’ sound perfectly. This is a two for the price of one show, original talent and timeless songs”
“A stunning blend of observation, interpretation, and perfect vocal synergy tonight. Tim and Ian moved between harmonies and shared vocals like a gestalt entity, with all the vocal nuances, dynamics and phrasing that make S&G so unique while still finding their own take on the material. Absolutely first class”…Michael Hall (Musician/teacher)
