Live Music

Barbara Dickson

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 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.
