IT has been 50 years since the most successful folk/rock duo of all time recorded their first number one hit single – The Sound of Silence.

Now to ensure that the magic lives on, the Simon and Garfunkel Story comes to King’s Hall, Ilkley this evening. (November 3)

Following its West End success at the Leicester Square Theatre, The Simon and Garfunkel Story is currently the biggest and most successful international touring theatre show celebrating the lives and careers of Simon and Garfunkel.
