Barbara Dickson

About

In this special acoustic performance Barbara Dickson and her pianist Nick Holland explore her catalogue of songs at an intimate level. The pair let the words and melodies take 'centre stage' as they perform a wonderful range of material drawing on Barbara's folk roots, contemporary greats, and some of her classic hits.

Emerging from the Scottish folk scene of the late 1960's Barbara had enjoyed mainstream chart success 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 playing keyboards and adding vocals on her 'Full Circle' album, the first to feature the style of music she now performs.

Barbara and Nick work as a 'duo' where she plays guitar and piano, and Nick on keyboards –and adding harmonies to Barbara's own wonderful vocals. Special guest will be Anthony Toner, an artist acclaimed as much for his insightful and poetic lyrics as for his mastery of fingerstyle guitar and engaging onstage patter. He has shared the stage with everyone from folk legends Barbara Dickson and Frances Black to country music heroes Guy Clark and Nanci Griffith and blues/jazz superstar Van Morrison.
