NOW in his 70th year, Paul Simon remains one of the world's greatest singer-songwriters and the quality of his work shows no signs of diminishing with the advancing years.

His acoustic guitar playing is as adept as ever and his voice as pure as when he sang 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover all those years ago.

Check out Getting Ready For Christmas Day, Dazzling Blue and Love And Hard Times for conclusive proof that Simon is still on top of his game. A cracker.
