Barbara Dickson's Faith and Music

Pam Rhodes is in Edinburgh to meet renowned singer and actress Barbara Dickson to find out about her journey of faith and the music that has shaped it. The pair meet at a folk bar Barbara knew well back in the 60s, when she moved to Edinburgh and was making a name for herself on the burgeoning folk scene. Barbara reflects on those exciting, early days in the city and finding her faith around the same time, when she was drawn to a local Catholic church. Barbara shares how her faith grew and how she had always felt like a Catholic, although she was baptised a Presbyterian. At St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, she explains to Pam that when she was confirmed in the Catholic Church, it felt like coming home.
