A DOLLY Parton tribute artist will perform in Christchurch this September.

Kelly O'Brien, renowned as the 'best Dolly Parton impersonator in the UK', will perform at the Regent Theatre on September 21.

Having appeared on several platforms including BBC One, ITV's This Morning, Channel 5, Sky, and ITV London, Kelly also carries endorsements from the Parton family.

In her act, Australian-born Kelly impersonates Dolly Parton in voice, appearance, and humour, showcasing her vocal ability and comic timing.

Alongside a band of musicians from the UK, West End performer Kelly is set to perform favourites such as 9 to 5, Jolene, Islands In The Stream and I Will Always Love You, among others.

Daily Mirror said Kelly is the "UK's number one Dolly Parton tribute".

Jonathan Ross on The Last Leg said: "I thought it was Dolly."

Dermot O’Leary described Kelly's act as "incredible".

Recommended as "a seriously fun night out" by Time Out magazine and that Kelly "looks, sounds and speaks like Dolly", both Dolly Parton admirers and avid music fans are in for a treat.
