REVIEW: Barbara Dickson

Nostalgic, enchanting and memorable

Barbara Dickson’s Farewell Tour brought a nostalgic and enchanting evening to the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, it was evident that this is a performer who not only belongs, but thrives in the spotlight.

Barbara Dickson is a two time Olivier winner and is widely known for her West End performances in Blood Brothers as well as having a successful solo career with british chart hits such as January February and Caravan Song. With her first tour with a full band taking place in 1977, Dickson returned to the stage with the same band in 2024 for one final celebration of music and talent!

Dickson’s voice, comparable in style and tone to the legendary Joni Mitchell, carried a unique blend of folk and musical theatre power and control. As she effortlessly weaved through Scottish/Irish traditional folk songs and revisited her popular chart hits from the 70s and 80s, the audience was captivated by the versatility of her vocal delivery. The Crosby/Stills and Nash vibe emerged when the wonderfully skilled backing vocals joined, adding an extra layer of richness to the performance, backed by a tight four piece band.

While Dickson may not be the strongest folk singer, lacking some of the clarity and silvery tones that we come to expect from the genre, her rich alto lends something more to the style through her passionate delivery. This is not just singing, this is storytelling. The nerves that were palpable at the start of the show quickly gave way to a confident and charming stage presence. Despite a couple of unexpected voice cracks in her upper register, they were easily overlooked in the grand scheme of her captivating performance, and after a few more songs, utterly forgotten.

Dickson engaged effortlessly with the audience, claiming that she thought most of them were people she knew. This had some merit, as it turned out that I was sitting beside her neighbour! Whether the auditorium was full of her friends or not, there was certainly a lot of love directed at the stage, with smiles all round and near constant foot tapping.

While some fans may have been disappointed that Dickson didn’t perform hits like “I Know Him So Well” from Chess, the merchandise table offered consolation with excellent tongue-in-cheek pieces. The humour and charm extended beyond the stage, demonstrating Dickson’s ability to connect with her audience on multiple levels.

Barbara Dickson’s Farewell Tour showcased a seasoned performer who not only delivered a musical journey through time but also created a warm and delightful atmosphere. Her ability to blend genres, coupled with the engaging stage presence, made this farewell performance a memorable and heartfelt experience for all in attendance.

I was there, and it was a great night alright!

I was in Birmingham at Barbara’s final performance. A wonderful evening. I will do miss her tours.

I was also there and thought it was a fantastically well balanced show with her showing she’s really such a pro with such consummate musicians around her. Note to the reviewer – she can’t sign I Know Him So Well as it’s a duet if for no other reason!

Of course you’re right I only wanted to mention it because I thought the merch she had made was so brilliant and felt it deserved mentioning!

I seen Barbara last night in Manchester and she was Fabulous and her voice was Incredible. The band were top notch – I also liked her intro into the songs and the story behind them. Thank you Barbara and the band.

Another Singer in Another Hall: Barbara Dickson is back

By Jay Darcy

Article Summary

March marks two years since the coronavirus pandemic began. As things go back to normal, and we make up for lost time, acclaimed singer and actress Barbara Dickson OBE is blessing the UK with her ‘Time is Going Faster Tour’. Dickson will be performing both classic and more recent material from her extraordinary canon of music across both pop and folk, all with her exceptional band.

A multi-million selling recording artist, The Scotsman has described her as Scotland’s best-selling female singer in terms of the numbers of hit chart singles and albums she has achieved in the UK since 1976. Dickson is also known for her acting career: she is a twice Olivier-Award-winning actor, with roles including Viv Nicholson in Spend Spend Spend and (the original) Mrs. Johnstone in Willy Russell’s long-running musical Blood Brothers . On television, she starred as Anita Braithwaite in Band of Gold .

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.

One of Dickson’s best-known hits is ‘Another Suitcase in Another Hall’ from Evita . Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice spotted the then little-known Dickson and invited her to record the song for the musical’s concept album. A few years later, Willy Russell invited her to star in his new musical, Blood Brothers . Although at first reluctant to accept, having never acted before, she accepted and garnered critical acclaim. She has reprised the role many times, the latest being 2004 at the Liverpool Empire Theatre.

A couple of years later, Tim Rice approached her once again, this time asking her to take part in the recording of the concept album for the musical Chess – in the role of Svetlana. Dickson’s duet with elaine Paige, ‘I Know Him So Well’, became a worldwide hit, remained at number one in the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, and remains the best-selling ever female duet (according to Guinness World Records ).

Dickson’s other hits include ‘Answer Me’ and ‘The Caravan Song’. 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.

Dickson’s latest release was 2020’s ‘Time Is Going Faster’, which marked 50 years since her first solo album, ‘Do Right Woman’ (1970). Consisting of 10 new tracks, the album features three original songs written by Barbara herself, her first new writing in years. The album also features a new rendition of ‘Tell Me It’s Not True’ from Blood Brothers .

Whilst there’s sadly no Manchester date on the tour, Dickson will be playing at King George’s Hall in Blackburn on 26th March. Other northern dates include St George’s Hall in Bradford on 2nd April and Liverpool Royal Philharmonic Hall on 15th April – the final date of the 23-date tour.

Review: Barbara Dickson at The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

Home - Music Reviews - Review: Barbara Dickson at The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

Barbara Dickson, ended a 24-date tour at The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall paying homage to the city’s own playwright Willy Russell who was in the audience. For it was Russell’s play, John, Paul, George, Ring and Bert at the Liverpool Everyman in 1974 that started off her popular career.

From the play she sang Here Comes the Sun and added the wonderful Easy Terms, from another Russell musical, Blood Brothers. She got Willy to stand up to much acclaim from the home audience. It was a night of eclectic music choices, from her hits including a poignant Caravans, Another Suitcase, from Evita, and Answer Me, to pure folk, such as Mary Skeffington, The Times They are A’changin to The Water is Wide.

Barbara’s voice is a pure as ever though at the end of a 24 date tour the odd strain could be detected. But she is nothing if not a trouper and gave it her all. She sang many songs from her latest album, Winter, which includes Advent and Christmas music supplemented with secular music including the slow and mellow Winters Come, a Gerry Rafferty track and Winter Song, written by Alan Hull of Lindisfarne, a song that she has known for a very long time and now been able to record for her fans.

She even included a beautiful mellow song, Silence of the Dawn, by Benny Andersson, written for the millennium. As she said: “We got the 02, the Swedes got a wonderful song!”

She was backed by the multi-talented Troy Donockley on the wonderful uilleann pipes and electric guitar, Nick Holland on keyboard and vocals, bass player and vocals Brad Lang and on drums and percussion Russell Field. They are a tight little band and play a mixture of electro folk and pure gaelic tunes.

Of note was the haunting MacCrimmons Lament that reached into the very souls of the audience that then morphed into a seven part jig that got the auditorium bopping in their seats. As she said, it’s not only the Scots that like Scottish music, and she was right.

It was another night of triumph for Barbara who said it was wonderful to finish her tour amongst her beloved Scousers. After all, it was here in Liverpool where it all began.

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.

The Platform at Morecambe Sept 23rd 2017. Another chance to see Barbara and I am so glad we did. Despite having difficulties with her voice (her words, not mine) she took us on a musical tour of her career punctuated with songs from Dylan, Rafferty, Russell and even a new song penned by 'Her Royal Highness' herself. Great work Barbara. My absolute favourites are of course your folk songs delivered with such raw emotion you can take us to Scottish Isles where nature and music are in its purest form. If last night was 'you having difficulties with your voice', what chance do any of us have when singing at our best? Non whatsoever, you are a true performer at (what I consider to be)the prime of your career. I also want to say thank you to Nick Holland and Anthony Toney who combined to give us a very special evening. Even if you experienced tech. issues. You all did a great job.

Thanks again till next time.

Brilliant concert at Birmingham Town Hall.Barbara and the band played a mixture of old songs and Scottish Folk along with 4 tracks from her new EP. Barbara has not lost her charm on stage and her voice is still one of the most beautiful when singing live.

One of the best concerts around, go see her live, you will not be disappointed.

My sister and I always loved Barabara's music. We bought all her CDs and went to all her concerts when appearing in our home town of Brighton. Haven't heard much recently of any tours but would like to go to some soon. Wonderful artist.

What a great show for the opening night of her tour, even though she was struggling with a throat infection. Even took time to meet fans after the show. Thank you so much, it made my inlaws and partners night

It was all absolutely fantastic. Barbara was really good fun and interesting in between songs too. Her band were outstanding and the sound was good. Just wished we had heard I know him so well too!
