Islands in the stream on Sunday 27th October 2019

Leave your 9 to 5 worries at the door and get ready for a night in the company of Country Music Royalty!

This foot-tapping, thigh-slapping, cowboy celebration, recreates the elegance and perfection of Dolly Parton, combined with the swagger and charm of Kenny Rogers! Do not miss out on an incredible musical adventure, with hit songs such as: Jolene, 9 to 5, Lucille, The Gambler, I Will Always Love You, Coward of the County and so much more!

Enjoy a superb score and supreme musicianship as we bring the house down with the ultimate tribute to two country music legends.

This is a tribute show and is no way affiliated with any original artists/estates/management companies or similar shows.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST – ANDREA PATTISON as DOLLY PARTON

  • How did you get into performing, was there a particular artist you saw that resonated with you? How long have you been a fan of Dolly?

I’ve been a fan of Dolly’s since I was very young, my Dad used to listen to her LPs every Sunday and “Love is Like a Butterfly” was the very first song I learnt to sing – I used to perform it in our back garden for friends and family.

  • What do you like to do in your free time when not performing?

I love spending time with my family, particularly my young nieces and nephews. When I'm at home I love watching American comedy like Seinfeld and Frasier, and I'm a big fan of the ITV quizzes 'Tipping Point' and 'The Chase”.

  • What is the most rewarding thing about your work?

I love dressing up, so it’s a treat for me to be able to wear the custom made out fits and wigs every night. It’s also a joy from a musical point of view as I really love the songs.
