Ournext live show is:

The Dolly Show

and The Classic Country Four

Kelly O'Brien is Dolly Parton
Doors open 7pm Show starts at 7.30, Tickets £14.00

Kelly O'Brien is the UK's No.1 Dolly Parton tribute act although she's actually an Australian born singer, comedienne, dancer, actress and writer.

Country music has been her passion since the age of 14 and she has been a Dolly Parton impersonator since 2000 after winning first place in a highly prestigious talent contest held in Sydney.

The Dolly Show brilliantly captures the voice, personality and voluptuousness of the little lady from Tennessee. Dolly’s greatest hits combine with flawless comic timing in this extraordinary show.

Kelly is a world class entertainer with a stunning voice that captivates audiences with Dolly’s famous soprano in this must see show dedicated to the sound and style of Dolly at the peak of her career.

Kelly's performance is fantastic fun and much loved by Dolly devotees and debutantes alike.

Theatre credits include: a lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's smash hit musical 'Starlight Express'

T.V. appearances include: Gok Wan's How To Look Good Naked, Miss Naked Beauty and the X-Factor.

Reviews:
“She’s exactly like Dolly and her voice is just AMAZING!”

"Not sure who will read this but just wanted to give my personal opinion about Kelly's show. BRILLIANT! We've just come back from a week in Cyprus. There were several shows put on by First Choice and they were completely awful, not even good enough to be rejected by Britain's Got Talent. Then, on comes Kelly O'Brien (Dolly), a real treasure. I've seen many a tribute act and most have been laughable but as far as I was concerned we had Dolly Parton on stage. If you ever get chance to see her then you simply must. And for the record I'm not a big Country fan but I was completely blown away by a fabulous, funny and professional performance. Good luck Kelly for the future" – Tony Booth
