Description
Barbara Dickson was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and her singing career started in folk clubs around her native Fife in the sixties, exposing her to a rich combination of traditional and contemporary music. In the early seventies, she sang at a Liverpool folk club run by a young student teacher called Willy Russell. He showed Barbara the first draft of what would later become the award winning musical, 'John, Paul, George, Ringo....and Bert' and asked her to perform the music. The combination of fine writing, a superb cast of young unknowns, (including Antony Sher, Bernard Hill and Trevor Eve) and Barbara's idiosyncratic interpretation of Beatles songs made the show hugely successful.
During the seventies and eighties Barbara Dickson enjoyed huge success in both the pop field and also moved into acting and was featured in a number of high profile stage and television productions.
Live In Spilsby 2007 is the soundtrack for the DVD Into The Light. The concert took place in early November at the Spilsby Theatre in Spilsby Lincolnshire in front of a specially invited audience. The concert featured songs from across the career of Barbara Dickson including Another Suitcase Another Hall, Caravan and I Know Him So Well alongside newer material from the more recent studio albums Full Circle and Time And Tide.
