RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33363938 Val Doonican always seemed to be on the TV (such as it was) when I was growing up - he used to sing some interesting songs, a guy from a different era and remembered fondly. Walk Tall and RIP Val and remember, the angel with the whiskers on is Paddy McGinty's goat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Never my kind of stuff, but, yes he seemed ever present, and ever charming, on TV when I was a kid. A great entertainer and a genuinely nice guy for sure He must have done wonders for the sales of knitting patterns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted July 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sad to hear of the death of Val Doonican. He was from a different era of entertainment to that of today. It was when it was both fun and relaxing, and, of course, musical. Val will be much missed. R.I.P. Market65. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 He was a man of his time when TV entertainment was far more laid back than it is today. I remember him for his white woolly jumpers for some reason. R I P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He had a lovely singing voice but also had a sense of humour about himself. I'll always remember the fleeting expression that crossed his face when Eric Morcambe called him "Valerie"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I wouldn't say I was a fan, but my parents had a couple of his albums and I always enjoyed his comedy songs. Especially this one. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
