Barbara Dickson, Sage Gateshead
AFTER a musical odyssey of 40 years creating music, playing guitar and piano, acting and songwriting, Barbara Dickson OBE, has announced an extensive 24 date UK-tour.
As a multi-million selling recording artist with an equally impressive Olivier Award winning acting career, Dickson has long since cemented her status as one of the UK’s best-loved performers.
Emerging from the Scottish Folk Revival of the 1960s, Dickson became the biggest selling Scottish female album artist of all time, earning 6 platinum, 11 gold and 7 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, Dickson enjoyed ten years of chart success as a pop star.
As an actress, she played Viv Nicholson in the musical Spend Spend Spend, and the original Mrs.Johnstone in Willy Russell’s long running musical Blood Brothers. On TV she starred as Anita Braithwaite in Band of Gold.
Dickson and her band will be performing new material along with classics from her huge canon of music, which crosses both pop and folk genres.
