As a multi-million
selling recording artist with an equally impressive Olivier Award winning
acting career, Barbara Dickson OBE has firmly established herself as one of the
most enduring and popular artistes in Britain today.Rab’s continuing reputation as one of Scotland's
finest singer-songwriters and Barbara’s skills as an interpreter of new and
traditional songs provide an enviable platform for this unique show. The pair share
common ground with their respect for artists such as Dylan, Beatles and the
Everly Brothers which when mixed with their experiences of the folk revival of
the 1960s and beyond, create a stage show they are keen to share – and are
delighted to be ‘going on the road’ together.
