In this special semi-acoustic performance, Barbara Dickson and her pianist Nick Holland explore her catalogue of songs at an intimate level. Barbara lets the words and melodies take ‘centre stage’ as she performs a wonderful range of material drawing on her folk roots, contemporary greats, and some of her classic hits.
Emerging from the Scottish folk scene of the late 1960’s Barbara enjoyed mainstream chart successes with hits including ‘Answer Me’, ‘Another Suitcase in Another Hall’, ‘Caravan’ and the million-selling number one single, ‘I Know Him So Well’.
As Scotland’s best-selling female album artist, she has earned 6 platinum, 11 gold and 7 silver albums and cemented her status as one of the UK’s best-loved performers. Nick Holland joined Barbara’s touring band in the mid 2000’s and has remained with her ever since, playing keyboards and producing her recent albums.
Special guest will be Edwina Hayes who brings together English folk, Americana and the rich Northern singer/songwriter tradition to create a sound that’s truly her own. She has toured with such notable performers as Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith and Loudon Wainwright III to name just a few and her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper and has since had over twenty million plays on Spotify and over fifty million plays on YouTube.
