The Zimmermen have been playing Bob Dylan’s songs and music for twenty five years.
Formed and led by Tom O’Gorman, the band cover classic songs from Dylan’s key musical eras, from early 1960s to the present day, including lesser known material that has tempted even the most avid Dylanologists to their gigs.
The band contain several north-west musicians, with the skills and components to capture the rich variety of Dylan’s music and its roots and influences, from folk, blues, country, jazz and gospel to reggae, rock and beyond.
Whatever your taste in Dylan, The Zimmermen serve up the Dylan songs that count. See them soon.

The Zimmermen are: Tom O’Gorman (guitar and vocals); Rick Lucas (lead guitar and vocals); Shug Spencer (bass guitar); Colin Schofield (drums and vocals); Gerry O’Gorman (harmonica and vocals); and Ross Whittaker (piano and vocals).
