Just A Night Of Simply Dylan, John O’ Connell, Announces 2019 U.K.

John O’Connell’s Simply Dylan will be back in 2019 for a brand-new headline tour across the U.K., including a night at The Citadel in St. Helens on Saturday 9th February.

Simply Dylan is as straightforward as the title suggests: no frills, no gimmicks, and no pretence. 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 who are craving to hear some of prodigious songwriter’s back catalogue live in concert.

John O’ Connell, Gig Review. Epstein Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is always the novel approach, the unexpected gig to hit the Liverpool streets or the venue in which the audience turn up for a different kind of theatrical experience, the play may well be the thing but it is music after all in which captures the conscious of the audience and there are very few people like one of the Merseyside area’s favourite sons, John O’ Connell, in which to liberate the expanse of music on stage and to give a genuine feeling of love to the classical side of guitar performance.

Adam Barnes, Blisters. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Oxford is known for its dreaming spires, its universities that are amongst the pinnacle of world education and thinking and one of the best cities to sit and have the occasional pint in one of its numerous and edifying public houses; what it’s not that well known for is for being a hotbed of young musical talent. Occasionally though a new musician will come through and whose voice breaks down barriers and wins fans in even the most music conscious places in the U.K., it won’t be long before Adam Barnes possibly becomes the most well-known musician to come out the city.
