Simply Dylan is the brainchild of John O’Connell formerly of the legendary Liverpool cult band Groundpig. They are billed as a tribute to Bob Dylan and not a tribute band; essentially they deliver their own interpretations of the songs of Dylan staying close to how they were originally recorded rather than deliver an imitation of the music icon.
Having started off as a modest project celebrating Dylan’s 70th Birthday the band have gone on to selling out the Cavern Club some 7 times, impressing fans on a tour of Spain and getting rave reviews whilst on the road with SJM Concerts.
The Band consists of John O’Connell on vocals, guitar and harmonica, Paul Catharell on bass, Phil Larkin on Keyboards, and Charley Blue on backing vocals and violin.

Following the success of Simply Dylan’s latest UK tour including a third sell out show at the Oran Mor, Glasgow, Simply Dylan will be returning to Scotland for a one-off show at The Voodoo Rooms Edinburgh on Thursday 13th April, the day before the Good Friday Bank Holiday.
