The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican (seated)
Lichfield Guildhall, Lichfield, WS13 6LU
Saturday 17th April 2027 8:00PM
This event will be seated, with unallocated seating.
Founded in Barnsley, South Yorkshire in 2006, The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican are on a mission! Far from being your typical folk ensemble, this cult-like collective of like-minded knit-wear enthusiasts are determined to follow in their spiritual father’s immortal footsteps and keep his legacy alive.
Raucous ringleader Scott Doonican and his anarchic band of brothers-from- other-mothers, Alan Doonican, Mo-Jo Doonican, Dave Doonican and The Reight Reverend Jeremiah Rickenbacker Doonican III, have quite the talent for Bar-Stewardizing other famous people’s songs with new satirical comedy lyrics, on (mostly) folk instruments.
To complete their outrageously understated image, the Doonicans have become instantly recognisable for their stylish choice of sexy knitwear, and their lairy, no-holds-barred live shows.
For over two decades, the UK's hardest working comedy folk band have been delighting audiences across the land, whilst evolving into a well-oiled ten-legged folk machine that have brought smiles and belly-laughs from Barnsley to Barnstaple, from Glastonbury to Glasgow. They continue to wow audiences with a fine selection of their greatest hits, including the likes of “Jump Ararnd”, “The Lady In Greggs”, "How Deep Is Your Glove?", “Too Good To Be Jus”, “Goat Yoga”, and “Turkey Teeth”.
They’ve notched up over 1,500 side-splitting shows, entertained thousands of shiny happy people, released 15 studio albums and enough live recordings to make Bob Dylan blush. And they’ve had a hell of a lot of fun along the way, because they know how to have a good time – and how to make sure everyone else does too! But don't let the knitwear fool you: these boys can really play. Dazzling musicianship, tight vocal harmonies and unrivalled showmanship sit alongside clever lyrics where no subject is safe, no genre is sacred and nobody knows quite what's coming next.
Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool Doonifan, a curious first-timer, or someone who's simply wandered over wondering what the hell is going on, you'll be welcomed into the fold with open arms (Although you may never leave... not that you'll want to!).
The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican can’t wait to bring the shindig and shenanigans back to Lichfield Guildhall and they promise that they WILL rock you... but gently!
