The Big Yellow Tambourine Man Band

Sat 3 Aug

Join the Big Yellow Tambourine Man Band on a radical tour of some of the most iconic songs from the two greatest singer-songwriters of modern times, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan.

Be transported by faithful renditions of tracks from throughout the duo’s celebrated careers, including Grammy award-winning songs from peerless albums such as Blue, Court & Spark, Freewheelin’, Blonde on Blonde and more.

The show is the brainchild of Devon-based singer-songwriter Isabelle Nutton and Cape Town guitarist and singer Bob Thomson, conceived after discovering a shared fascination with Mitchell’s and Dylan’s imagery, poetry and artistry.

Be totally swept along on the trip by loving recreations of the pair’s most recognisable finery, with stops in Greenwich Village, Laurel Canyon, Isle of Wight and beyond. This talented and enigmatic freewheelin’ five-piece with an eye for detail will make you feel like you’re really there, man…
