VETERAN Scottish singers Barbara Dickson and Rab Noakes won rapturous applause following their show in front of a packed auditorium at Mareel on Sunday night.
It followed a 75-minute trip down memory lane from the duo encompassing old folk classics and pop standards.
The pair took to the stage kitted in supermarket attire and using bits of borrowed equipment after Flybe miraculously managed to lose their baggage on a single flight from Edinburgh to Sumburgh earlier in the day.
Dickson said she was inclined to “sock it to ‘em” for the mix-up - and she sure sounded like she meant it.
Thankfully the pair had taken their guitars on as hand luggage and they were not deterred from delivering a set steeped in nostalgia and featuring robust harmonies, a combination lapped up by the near sell-out crowd.
There were powerful takes on songs from their recent EP ‘Reunited’, with opener ‘Do Right Woman’ harking back to the days in the sixties when they sang together in folk clubs – having first met in the Sandy Bells pub in Edinburgh.
