The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican - LAST FEW

Yes They're Back!  Don't we all need as much fun as possible these days?  To throw off the weight and gloom of the past few years!  What could be better than an evening with  - The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican!

Put on yer finest knitted glad-rags, style your barnet, put on your dancing shoes and bring your finest singing voices, as we cordially invite you to witness the Greatest Show On Earth (in tank-tops).

Hailing from Barnsley Rock City in t'North, The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican are on a mission! Determined to follow in their spiritual father’s immortal footsteps and keep his legacy alive, they have a talent for Bar-Stewardizing other famous people’s songs with new comedy lyrics, on acoustic geetar, ukulele, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, accordion, keyboard, keytar and the world's first synthesizer ukulele. To complete their squeaky-clean image, brothers-from-other-mothers Scott, Björn and Alan have become instantly recognisable for their immaculate hair and their stylish choice of knitwear.

A band that is both perpetually on the move and joyously independent, since forming in 2006, they have played over 1000 side-splitting shows to date, and have brought smiles and belly-laughs to audiences across the UK; from Barnsley to Barnstaple and from Glasgow to Glastonbury Festival. They continue to wow audiences with their anarchic live shows and a fine selection of their greatest hits, including the likes of “Jump Ararnd”, “The Lady In Greggs”, "How Deep Is Your Glove?", "Nandos", “Paint 'em Back", "Walking In Manp**s" and “If I Could Punch A Face… It’d Be Justin Bieber’s”.

Over the past few years, every night on their annual Winter Woollies Tour has sold out. They can't wait to return to Canterbury, and promise that they WILL rock you... but gently.
