Top Paul Simon Tribute tours UK

from Ben, 2010-07-16

The UK´s favourite Simon and Garfunkel/Paul Simon Tribute is on the road this summer and Autumn, on our Tour of One Night Stands. We start in Conkers in Derbyshire UK on the 14th August, and we´re touring throughout Sept, Oct, and Nov. The full spread of Paul Simon´s career is covered, with reverence, good humour, and genuine love for the music.

Yes, it´s true, tributes are a bit cheesy and can be tragic. We´re not. And seeing the songs played live sure beats sitting at home listening to the albums on your own.

Our website also has details of a competition for free tickets, which I´m sure that dedicated fans like you guys will ace!

Paul Simon changes label (again)

from Matthew, 2010-07-14

Paul Simon has announced that he is moving his entire solo catalogue from Warner Bros back to Sony/Legacy. This will come as a surprise for Simon´s fans as he left Columbia/CBS in the late 1970s after disagreements with Columbia bosses over the release of the single Stranded in a Limousine which Simon accused the label of failing to promote.

Simon then signed to Warner Bros who released and promoted his next project, the One-Trick Pony film and supporting soundtrack album. Since then, all Paul Simon´s albums have been released on Warner Bros, including the massively successful Graceland and the most recent 2006 album Surprise, along with an alarming plethora of greatest hits compilations.

Since the move to Warner Bros, Simon gained control of the masters to his earlier solo recordings and in 1987, his first four solo albums, including the live album Live Rhymin´, were re-released on Warner Bros CDs, cassettes and vinyl. In 2004 a remastered deluxe version of all 9 solo albums were released on Warner´s Rhino label, including bonus material, out-takes and missing tracks.

It seems likely that the new album that Simon is reportedly finishing will be released on Sony records but whether all ten solo albums between 1972 and 2006 (not to mention one live album and all eight compilations released between 1988 and 2007) will also be re-released remains to be seen.

Songwriters Hall of fame honour Bridge over troubled water

NEW YORK – The iconic ballad ´Bridge Over Troubled Water´ was so stirring that even a young Paul Simon knew he was onto something special when he composed it 40 years ago.
´I thought, ´Hmm. That´s better than I usually write,´´ Simon recalled. ´I was completely surprised that I wrote it — it was completely unlike anything I had ever done before.´
On last Thursday, Simon´s magical moment — one of several in his long career — was honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame in a ceremony

S&G tour postponed indefinetly

from Bodo, 2010-06-18

Simon & Garfunkel have postponed their Canadian and U.S. tour, indefinitely. Tour promoter Live Nation says the tour is on hold as Art Garfunkel continues to recover from a vocal paresis (a weakness of one or both vocal folds which can cause hoarseness, shortness of breath and various other problems).

“According to his doctors, Art is expected to make a full recovery, however they cannot predict an exact timeline,” read a statement released Thursday afternoon. “This condition [paresis] inhibits the duo from performing shows at the highest possible level and it is for that reason and out of respect for their fans that Paul and Art have decided to put the tour on hold.”

The tour, originally scheduled for April, had been postponed until July, after Garfunkel experienced vocal problems opening night. The tour was supposed to resume July 3 in Vancouver.

“I do feel bad about disrupting so many people plans but, as I continue to mend, I can’t yet bring my ‘A Game’ to a tour,” read a statement from Garfunkel, “and I would not perform for you with anything less.”

Tickets can be refunded where they were purchased.

Paul Simon may record with Bob Dylan

from Brenda, 2010-06-01
13:08:13

Pauls new album - hopefully released this fall - will maybe have a guest vocal appearance by Bob Dylan. Simon is thinking about asking Bob to sing a duet with him.

Meanwhile Paul Simon also changed his record company and is comming back home to Columbia records. Paul has been at Columbia from the early S&G time till 1980's One trick pony, and left the company after some disputs.

With some luck this new deal, which combines all of Pauls work at one company now, we might have a chance for some interesting releases of Pauls early career...(?)
