Barbara Dickson in conversation with Simon Mayo
Multi-million selling recording artist and Olivier Award winning Barbara Dickson OBE reveals details of her 2015 UK-tour.
Emerging from the Scottish Folk Revival of the 1960s, Barbara Dickson became the biggest selling Scottish female album artist of all time, earning 6 platinum, 11 gold and 7 silver albums. Known to a wider audience in the 1970s and 1980s with hits including 'Answer Me', 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall', 'The Caravan Song' and 'I Know Him So Well', she enjoyed ten years of chart success as a pop star. So much was her contribution that she was awarded an OBE from Her Majesty The Queen in 2002 for Services to Music and Drama.
As an actress, she has appeared in the award winning theatre productions, 'John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert', 'Blood Brothers' and 'Spend, Spend, Spend'. She was the original Mrs Johnstone and Willy Russell's muse.
