Saturday 14 December Barbara Dickson

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.

Whilst Barbara remains modest about her many achievements, with seventeen Platinum and Gold albums to her name she remains Scotland’s biggest-selling female singer of all time. Billy Connolly says of Barbara, “from the very first time I heard her, her voice just nailed me to the wall. She’s just a one-off.”

Thursday 23 January Judy Collins 

This is a truly exceptional opportunity to experience and hear one of music’s female icons in a rare close-up and personal atmosphere.

The award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions.

Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album, Wildflowers, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

JTQ perform all over the world at major international festivals to sell-out audiences and at jazz clubs such as Ronnie Scott’s.
