Barbara Dickson OBE

Barbara Dickson OBE is one of Britain's most successful and enduring musical performers, since making her name in the Scottish folk scene of the late 1960's.

In 1974 her friend Willy Russell offered her the singing role in the hit Beatles' musical John Paul George Ringo...& Bert. Hits such as Answer Me, Another Suitcase In Another Hall and January February followed throughout the late 1970's and early 1980's. By 1986 Barbara was selling out major venues such as London's Royal Albert Hall, as she enjoyed her first number one I Know Him So Well; sung as a duet with Elaine Paige, from the musical Chess.

As the 1990's dawned, Barbara began to rethink her career, moving back towards her folk roots with 1992's Don't Think Twice It's All Right and 1994's Parcel Of Rogues. Away from the pop treadmill, she has moved into television drama with roles in Band of Gold and Taggart .

In theatre, Barbara has taken starring roles in various musicals and has won

many accolades, including her own award-winning one-woman show The 7

Ages Of Woman. In 1999 she played the lead role of Viv Nicholson in the

musical Spend, Spend, Spend, for which she won a Laurence Olivier award.
 

Singer, actress, songwriter - Barbara is one of the most versatile and in-demand

performers working today. With the release of a new album Full Circle, more

acting roles and a major UK concert tour in 2005, she shows no signs of

slowing down!
