PROTEST singer, prophet and peoples poet, Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artist of the last 40 years of popular music.
In both quantity and quality, his musical output remains virtually unrivalled, and no other songwriter has ever used image and narrative to such a great effect.
He takes to the stage at Bournemouth International Centre's Windsor Hall on Wednesday.
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and poet whose enduring contributions to American song are often compared, in fame and influence, to those of Stephen Foster, Irving Berlin, Woody Guthrie, and Hank Williams.
His place in American and European culture in the 1960s through to the present is unique.
Much of Dylan's best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are A-Changin, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements.
Bob Dylan will be on stage at 7.30pm. There is no support act and there will not be an interval. Tickets, from £35, from 0870 111 3000.
