WHAT do musical legends Dusty Springfield, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox and Cher have in common?

They will all be rocking the Wycombe Swan next month in the form of High Wycombe's brightest singing star and winner of hit BBC One show The One And Only, Katy Setterfield.

The 38-year-old's prize for winning the Graham Norton-hosted show was a place on the world famous Legends In Concert at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas and is now about to embark on a UK tour.

“I can't wait, I live for performing”, says Setterfield, who started out as a Cher tribute act before she got her big break in Trevor Payne's touring production That'll Be The Day, where she spent eight years.

“I toured last year just as Dusty after winning the show, but now I'm really excited to be out on the road again and looking forward to showing people the other things I can do.

“Before the TV show, everyone knew me for performing as Cher and Tina Turner, right down to the silly walk, I mean – who doesn't do the walk to Simply The Best?

“I still dedicate a good part of the show to Dusty because, for me, she is the greatest female singer this country has ever seen, she changed the British music scene because she brought Motown music over here which became massive and inspired so many.

“But the second half of the show, I'll be rocking out with Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, Cher and a few others.”

Like most youngsters growing up in the 70s and 80s, Katy used to record the Top 40 singles chart from the radio and spent hours singing into her hairbrush in a bid to emulate her heroes.

“It taught me to sing properly and for me, it is the best training you can ever have.

“I would just keep listening to the songs over and over, and once I discovered I could do one voice, I found it wasn't that hard to do others.

“Tina Turner can become Anastasia with a slight change and in turn you can get to Amy Winehouse, the mechanics of their voices are all similar and I found it fascinating.”

Katy has had a busy year recording her début album, covering Dusty Springfield's greatest hits, and touring around Europe. But does she get frustrated with being known as a tribute act of the stars rather then Katy Setterfield, singing superstar?

“not really”, she says, “There are some truly great tribute acts out there but then of course you get the truly bad acts that give the genre a bad name.

“But I see it like this, when Helen Mirren won an Oscar playing the Queen, nobody looks at that and says 'she's trying to be the Queen', everyone says it was a great performance by a great actress.

“And that's how I feel about my singing – I'm the one up on that stage and I try to give the best performance I can to entertain people and I love every minute of it.”
