Dylan concert planted firmly in the 1960s

Where: Cheltenham Town Hall

When: Saturday, January 13, 7.30pm

With some of the most memorable songs ever written, Bob Dylan created the soundtrack for 1960s America.

He amassed a huge and enduring fanbase that even extended across the Atlantic to bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Now The Bob Dylan Story transports you back to the Nobel prize winner's glory days with a truly authentic and affectionate show, complete with stunningly evocative visuals and authoritative insights into the stories behind the songs.

Songs range from the heady idealism of Blowing In The Wind and The Times They Are A Changin' to the electric venom of Subterranean Homesick Blues and Like A Rolling Stone.

There are also timeless love songs like Lay Lady Lay and I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and the mysticism of All Along The Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man. The lyrical tour de force of Hurricane to the catchy simplicity of Knocking On Heaven's Door - the achingly uplifting Forever Young and the whimsical Mighty Quinn.

These and many more hits, along with some of the tales behind them, are captured to perfection with a story arc that starts with JFK's inauguration speech and returns almost full circle to his tragic assassination in 1963, in a veritable tour de force produced by, and starring, bona fide Dylan fans.

Experience the thrill and energy of a full-blown electric Dylan concert planted firmly in the 1960s, a time when anything seemed possible, in a show that will remind you what REAL nostalgia feels like, and have you digging out your old vinyl to sustain the pleasure just that little bit longer.

Tickets are priced £22 from the box office on 0844 5762210
