Tribute Night: Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel

“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls, and whispered in the sound of silence.”

Simon & Garfunkel harnessed a kind of folk-rock alchemy from Paul’s finely tuned songwriting chops, Art’s soaring angelic voice, and their flawlessly intertwined harmonies. Their music developed across a handful of albums as the songwriting sharpened and they became more adventurous in the studio, and they created some of the most indelible music of the 1960s. Although short-lived as a recording duo, the partnership launched successful solo careers and the pair have endured as past masters of popular music.

At the 2026 winter edition of Tribute Night, expect to hear a variety of folks playing a variety of Simon & Garfunkel and solo Simon/Garfunkel songs in a variety of ways, some faithfully, some surprisingly, some ill-advisedly...

If you want to be involved and play a song or two, email Zac at [email protected]. You can bagsy a slot first if you haven’t decided on a song.

If you are a musician/singer and you want to be involved, but you don’t know other people to play or sing with, let me know and we’ll have a go at matching you up with others.

If you have an audio/video recording of yourself performing any song relevant to this or a previous Tribute Night, please send me a link to post on the Tribute Night Facebook page.

Thank you for your continued support of this frivolous thing we call Tribute Night.

As usual, there is no admission fee, but donations will be collected during the interval – suggested donation £5 – cash, card, or QR code to PayPal.

All donations go to the Rising Sun Arts Centre, which is a registered charity funded mostly by its own earned income and staffed by volunteers.
Doors open at 8pm for a prompt 8:30pm start.
