IRELAND'S international lady of song will be dazzling audiences with her 'crystal clear' interpretation of country legend Patsy Cline.
Sandy Kelly has thrilled fans across Britain and Ireland, and now she will be performing timeless hits such as Sweet Dreams, Crazy, and I Fall To Pieces, at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage.
Sandy's links with Patsy Cline began in 1989 when she recorded the country star's hit Crazy.
The record was an instant success, and demand for Sandy to sing Patsy's songs at her live shows was so great it led her to create a one woman tribute to Patsy.
In the words of George Hamilton IV: "Sandy is Patsy. She has the spirit, strength, power and fire, and above all, the voice that made Patsy the greatest country legend of them all."
Virginia Patterson Hensely, aka Patsy Cline, was born in Virginia on September 8, 1932, and is said to have entertained neighbours as early as three years old.
