Conversations with Gerry Kelly - Barbara Dickson

Gerry’s special guest tonight is Barbara Dickson, Scotland’s biggest-selling female singer of all time. For the best part of 60 years Barbara has been captivating audiences worldwide with huge hits such as ‘Answer Me’, ‘I Know Him So Well’ and ‘Caravan’

But not content with just a successful singing career, she turned to acting and was awarded 2 Olivier Awards for her roles in Blood Brothers and Spend, Spend, Spend.

Such success though, does not come without a cost. In a refreshingly honest interview, Barbara discloses that, in her pursuit of perfection, she once suffered from complete exhaustion which, in turn, led to the terrors of stage fright – a demoralizing affliction that would haunt her for almost 10 years.

A warm and fascinating interview ending with Barbara singing one of her biggest hit ‘Caravans’
