Simply Dylan

Simply Dylan is the brainchild of John O'Connell. No frills, no gimmicks, no pretence – this is ‘a tribute to Bob Dylan, not a Bob Dylan tribute’.  

His band’s precise playing and high-energy renditions of Dylan's work from the 1970s onwards have gathered momentum and generated incredible interest from modest origins as a project recognising Dylan's 70th Birthday in 2011. 

Since then Simply Dylan have gone from strength to strength - selling out the Cavern Club six times, receiving fantastic reviews for their international tours and opening up the Isle of Wight Festival on the Big Top Stage. 

This is the full band theatre show featuring a super-talented multi-instrumentalist 6-piece band that includes violin, sax, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, acoustic and electric guitars, guitars plus soul-stirring vocal harmonies. 

Tickets are currently flying out for this short tour which takes in some of the country’s most prestigious venues including Gateshead Glasshouse, Salford Lowry and Liverpool Royal Philharmonic. We feel lucky and privileged to have secured a date for this one!
