A multimedia show celebrating the life and music of rock legend and Nobel-prize winner Bob Dylan is rolling into town.
The Bob Dylan Story recreates all the classic hits, from The Times They Are A-Changin’, Blowin’ In The Wind and Mr Tambourine Man through to Like A Rolling Stone, Subterranean Homesick Blues and Lay Lady Lay, while telling some of the fascinating tales behind them.
Supported by a top backing band, the show takes its audience back to the Sixties, the era of Vietnam, anti-war and civil rights protests, and of course, timeless music spearheaded by the likes of Dylan, as he plotted his journey from revered protest singer to provocative rock n roll star to virtual recluse and back again, all in the space of a few short years.
Bill Lennon (pictured) who sings as Dylan, says: “We wanted to give Dylan’s many fans the opportunity to hear the songs as they remember them, all in one sitting, and although many of his songs were hits for other artists, from Hendrix’s All Along The Watchtower right up to Adele’s Make You Feel My Love, we remain true to the original versions.”
The Bob Dylan Story is at the Mercury Theatre this Friday, June 1, at 7.30pm. For tickets call 01206 573948.
