Andrea’s stunning vocals are backed by an all live 4 piece band. All of Dolly’s most celebrated material features in the show, from her early country classics such as “Coat of Many Colours” and “Applejack”, through to the later smash hits such as “Jolene”, “Islands in the Stream”, “I Will Always Love You” and “9 to 5”. Andrea is able to closely mimic Dolly’s unmistakable sound and phrasing, as well as her renowned onstage wit and charm. They will joined by special guest Peter White as Kenny Rogers.
Buddy Holly and the Cricketer’s breath-taking show has rock ’n’ rolled audiences across the globe for more than twenty years, and is guaranteed to have everyone singing along to the music and dancing in the aisles. It stars some of the finest actor-musicians in the UK, and was endorsed as Britain’s most popular Buddy Holly act when the boys guested on BBC One's ‘The One and Only’, hosted by Graham Norton. In this special festive show, Holly’s hits, including That’ll Be the Day, Peggy Sue, Heartbeat and Raining in My Heart, are wrapped up with other contemporary classics and some Christmas crackers in a fast, furious and funny feast of entertainment.
