Barbara Dickson

Barbara Ruth Dickson is no stranger to the world of music; in fact, in 2002 she was awarded an order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to music and drama. The actress, singer and songwriter has been making music for decades and has had the opportunity to perfect her live performances, rivaled by only those who have come before her.

Having been around for such a long time means accumulating a large following, of all people of all ages; a fact that becomes extremely apparent when you have the opportunity to watch her live show. As the audience starts to settle down, you can feel the buzz of anticipation until the band starts to play the introduction to the first song. Your eyes are immediately drawn to her, and as she starts to sing you become completely entranced by her voice. There have been occaisions when she was joined by a special guest, like Elaine Paige, who joined her in the song “I Know Him So Well.” Despite her widespread success, she seems to remain extremely humble and constantly thanks her fans for their cheers and support. She really knows how to play the crowd and gives the performance of her life every single time.
