THE TOUR
Val Doonican was an Irish singer, guitarist, and television presenter known for his soothing and easy-listening style of music. He was born Michael Valentine Doonican on February 3, 1927, in Waterford, Ireland. He grew up in a musical family and developed an early interest in music and entertainment.

Val Doonican was known for his warm stage presence, and his concerts were typically filled with his popular songs and humorous anecdotes. His tours to Australia were well-received, and he had a significant following in the country. He often performed in major cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

This concert tour was Val's eleventh trip to Australia and it also included New Zealand where Val performed in the major concert centres of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton and Palmerston North.

Val Doonican continued touring until his retirement in 2009. He passed away on July 1, 2015, at the age of 88.

COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians.  Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.

Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
