Founded in Barnsley in 2006 by their outspoken and energetic ringleader, Scott Doonican, 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.
Scott and his brothers-from-other-mothers, Mo-Jo Doonican, Dave Doonican and Rt Rev Jeremiah Rickenbacker Doonican III, have quite the talent for Bar-Stewardizing other famous people’s songs on folk instruments with new satirical comedy lyrics.
To complete their outrageously understated image, the band have become instantly recognisable for their immaculate hair and stylish choice of sexy knitwear, as well as instantly memorable for their lairy, no-holds-barred, anarchic live shows.
A group that is simultaneously perpetually on the move, ever-evolving and joyously independent, they have played over 1400 side- splitting shows to date, bringing smiles and belly- laughs to audiences across the UK; from Barnsley to Barnstaple, and 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”, and “If I Could Punch A Face... It’d Be Justin Bieber’s”.
The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican can’t wait to bring their shindig to Reeth Memorial Hall and they promise that they will rock you... but gently!
Tickets £20 (£22 on the door).
