Posted April 9, 200718 yr http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39177000/jpg/_39177310_doonican_bbc_203.jpg Last night i saw the Val Doonican tribute night on BBC 4, and i have come to the conclusion that actually he was the proto-Westlife. Its actually the same kinda thing with the same kinda marketplace and demographics but with Westlife there's more of them. Would anyone agree with me??? http://www.peteatkin.com/images/val_front.jpg btw also does anyone else thinks Nana Mouskouri sounds a bit like Bjork when she talks???
April 9, 200718 yr Ah, the old joke about not wanting to use his handkerchief is still fresh in my mind.
April 9, 200718 yr Author Ah, the old joke about not wanting to use his handkerchief is still fresh in my mind. ???? is that one from his big book of Irish jokes??? (there were a lot in his Light Entertainment show from 76) V. bizzarre!!!
April 9, 200718 yr no i wouldnt agree really tigerdude... val doonican could actually sing, he had a good voice and for a 'mums balladeer' wasnt too bad..
April 9, 200718 yr Author no i wouldnt agree really tigerdude... val doonican could actually sing, he had a good voice and for a 'mums balladeer' wasnt too bad.. i suppose in that way you'd be right, but for demographic perposes i think westlife filled the slot vacated by him. btw my mum thinks Nana Mouskouri has got a much better voice than him
April 9, 200718 yr i wouldnt agree with her!...lol.. but i do like the non hit 'white rose of athens'.. a radio hit but not a charter.
April 9, 200718 yr I can still just about remember him being on telly in his rocking chair in the early '80s! Oh, he was No.40 in my list of 'Acts who appeared on TOTP the most times' :D
