Description

Original vintage 5 x 8 handbill for The Student Prince Folk Club in Wardour Street, London, dated to January and February 1965. The flyer lists performances by Paul Simon on the 16th with Dorris Henderson, and on the 23rd with Alex Campbell. In very good condition, with overall creasing and staining, and three horizontal folds. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

In Robert Hilburn’s 2018 biography ‘Paul Simon, The Life,’ he explains that in 1965, ‘Simon was on the road fairly constantly in England, playing more than sixty dates in four months. In some ways, he was a student again. Just as he had learned the skills of record making during the demo days and had sharpened his intellect at Queens College, he was learning about performing and adjusting to the life of a professional musician.'
