Enjoy an evening with the legendary Barbara Dickson
BRITISH singing legend Barbara Dickson has announced an extensive UK tour for 2019.
The multi-million selling recording artist with an equally impressive Olivier Award winning acting career, has long since cemented her status as one of the UK’s best-loved performers.
She’ll be underlining this when she heads out on the road next year for a run of dates which include The Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl on March 3.
Emerging from the Scottish Folk Revival of the 1960s, Dickson became the biggest selling Scottish female album artist of all time, earning six platinum, 11 gold and seven silver albums. Known to a wider audience in the 1970s and 1980s with hits including Answer Me, Another Suitcase in Another Hall, The Caravan Song and I Know Him So Well, she enjoyed 10 years of chart success as a pop star. Her contribution to music was noted when she was awarded an OBE from The Queen in 2002 for Services to Music and Drama.
Dickson has captivated people with her soulful, intelligent readings of material from traditional songs of her native Scotland to working class heart-rending theatre roles where her own background has infused the emotional content of whatever she touches.
As an actress, she has appeared in the award winning theatre productions, John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert, Blood Brothers and Spend, Spend, Spend. She was the original Mrs Johnstone and Willy Russell’s muse.
After a musical odyssey of 40 years creating music, playing guitar and piano, acting and songwriting this tour is a culmination of her journey thus far, an evening packed with songs from from her notable back catalogue.
Barbara Dickson plays the Grand Pavilion, Porthcawl on March 3.
