SIMPLY DYLAN
BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND HOMETOWN
SHOW ANNOUNCED
LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC HALL – SUNDAY 27TH AUGUST
A TRIBUTE TO BOB DYLAN, NOT A BOB DYLAN TRIBUTE
“…a show that every Bob Dylan fan should see!” Louder Than War
Following a sold out show at The Auditorium at the Echo Arena Liverpool last year, John
O'Connell’s Simply Dylan will be headlining their biggest hometown show to date at the
Philharmonic Hall on Sunday 27th August; the Bank Holiday weekend!
Simply Dylan is as straightforward as the title suggests: no frills, no gimmicks, and no
pretense. It is Liverpool based artist John O’Connell’s personal exploration and
celebration of the rich and diverse work of Bob Dylan .
This no ordinary interpretation continues to delight Dylan fans young and old as
thousands of people across the UK have been delighted by the Band’s performances. It is
their precise playing and high energy renditions of Dylan's work which has gathered
momentum and generated incredible interest along with fantastic reviews.
John O'Connell (formerly of Groundpig) who leads Simply Dylan, is 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 to form his Dylan Band.
Currently on their most extensive UK tour to date Simply Dylan have no signs of slowing
down.

Quotes about Simply Dylan:
‘The aim of the band is to play Bob Dylan’s back catalogue as well as possible without falling in the
trap of doing a carbon copy of his recordings.…a show that every Bob Dylan fan should see!’ –
Louder Than War
"John is a very talented singer songwriter who travelled with me on tour. He captivated audiences
with his excellent voice and guitar playing..." Stephen Bishop
"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 … this guy is different, he’s not an impersonator, more an interpreter and an
accomplished musician and singer to boot. “ John Baldwin, Desolation Row
“… Having seen a mixed bag of gigs from the man himself ranging from inspired to forgettable, you
could quite easily make the case that John and his band do a far better job of honouring the richest
back catalogue in popular music history. Definitely going to try and catch a full show.” Trust The
Wizards
"A truly magnificent voice John....was an honour to hear you...."Guitar George Borowski ~ Electric
