Dolly Parton tribute at Epsom Playhouse

12:00pm Wednesday 13th March 2013 in Leisure By Alice Foster, Reporter

Pop along to the Epsom Playhouse to enjoy a new show paying tribute to an icon of country music.

The voice and songs of American music legend Dolly Parton will be brought to life by Andrea Pattinson and backed by a live four-piece band in this live performance which will include her early country classics such as Coat of Many Colours, and her later smash hits such as Islands in the Stream and 9 to 5.

Starting her career as a child performer with a distinctive soprano voice, Parton made her mark in the late 1960s.

As well as enjoying album success as a singer selling more than 100 million records worldwide, she has composed more than 3,000 tunes - the best-known of which include I Will Always Love You, a chart-topper for Whitney Houston; Jolene; and My Tennessee Mountain Home.
