Simon also performs as a soloist, with a greater focus on songs and storytelling as well as a separate repertoire of instrumental pieces. With self-accompanied and unaccompanied singing, soul-stirring flute melodies and an infectious love of history and folklore, Simon weaves together poignant and atmospheric sets.
“Your show was like a well-crafted aerial firework display, with its interweaving strands & colours culminating in three mighty detonations”
