Sat, 29th, August, 2026: Tribute to Dolly Parton: “Here You Come Again”; Mike McLeish (Actor, Writer, Musician, Songwriter)

Discussing the life, legacy, and cultural impact of Dolly Parton, following her passing. Mike and his wife/collaborator, Fiona Harris, adapted the hit Dolly Parton musical comedy Here You Come Again for its Australian season last year.

This week, the world lost a true global icon, a master storyteller, and one of the most beloved figures in music history: Dolly Parton. While she was famous for her signature sparkle and country hits, her influence reached far beyond the stage—touching millions with her wit, generosity, and message of radical acceptance.

Joining us on Saturday Magazine to reflect on her life and legacy is actor, writer, and musician Mike McLeish—who, along with his wife Fiona Harris, adapted the hit Dolly Parton musical comedy Here You Come Again for Australian audiences. Welcome to JOY, Mike.

Here You Come Again: The musical centres on a struggling fan whose fantasy version of Dolly helps him navigate life’s toughest moments. How Mike and Fiona grounded Dolly’s distinctly Southern Appalachian wit for Australian audiences.
