Event information

A Tribute to Bob Dylan NOT a Bob Dylan Tribute.
Simply Dylan is as straightforward as the title suggests; no frills, no gimmicks, no pretence. It is John O'Connell's personal exploration and celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan. John O'Connell, a rare talent who has had his name indelibly written in to the tapestry of Liverpool's music scene, has collaborated with other highly reputable musicians from the city to form his Dylan Band. No ordinary interpretation, this is a remarkable and exceptional project which promises to delight Dylan fans young and old and to ignite a new wave of passion for one of the world's most prodigious songwriters.
"I went to see Johnny O'Connell playing Simply Dylan at the Cavern Liverpool and it was absolutely stunning. Johnny is one of the most talented musicians I have come across and his Dylan set is effortlessly brilliant."(Peter Hooton, The Farm)
"Simply Dylan in Blackpool... I had a great time on Friday listening to Johnny O’Connell playing Simply Dylan for around 2 hours. Normally I don’t like Dylan 'covers' but this guy is different. He’s not an impersonator, more an interpreter and an accomplished musician and singer to boot. This was great fun and an ideal way to meet up with friends and to get in the mood for the show. He was only going to do two gigs, one on the Friday and the other on Sunday but, by popular demand, he performed on Saturday as well...." (John Baldwin, Desolation Row Information Service).
