Barbara Dickson: I am a natural Roman Catholic


Barbara DicksonBarbara Dickson was brought up in Dunfermline and became a hit on the folk circuit in the 1960s
Scottish singing star Barbara Dickson has told BBC Scotland she is a "natural Catholic" despite being brought up in the Church of Scotland.
The 66-year-old singer, whose hits include "I know him so well" and "January, February", said she loved the tradition of the mass and the liturgy of Roman Catholic worship.
Dickson, who grew up in Dunfermline in Fife, said: "I don't really have anything to do with the Reformation."
Perhaps surprisingly the folk singer who found fame in Willy Russell musicals such as John, Paul, George, Ringo … and Bert and Blood Brothers, told Sunday Morning with Cathy Macdonald, she did not think guitars and microphones had any place in a church and preferred traditional music.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
