Event information

Introducing singer songwriters Tim Chu and Ian Bailey performing “A Celebration of Simon & Garfunkel- The UK’s leading non tribute show”. Now in its eighth 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 the 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 4 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 great musicians performing some of Simon & Garfunkel’s classic songs in an intimate and relaxed way.

“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...

“What a fantastic show with two great guys, two voices and two guitars delivering the best acoustic interpretations of Simon’s classic songs” Sally Naden, BBC Radio.

“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”
