Just as I was planning a pro-forma offering for this month – best albums of 2023, gigs to book in 2024 – I realised I’ve never yet devoted this space to Paul Simon. Rudimentary error.
He is one of the many wrinklies who can a few British Summer Times ago, along with other boomers. I was feeling pathetically lucky to be there with my £15 pint as the sun dipped and that sweet, pure voice basted us in classic folk honey from the Paul Simon (and Garfunkel) songbook.
