Studio Albums from the Mk.III line-up
(Click the covers to go to our webstore)
The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican / 2008-2018
New to the party? Then consider this CD (or LP, if you want it on shiny double-disc transparent red vinyl) the perfect gateway drug... an introduction to the anarchic world of the brothers Doonican. It's a 22 track 10 year retrospective compilation of their 'Bestest Bits' from all of their first 8 studio albums, lovingly re-recorded in 2018, with the band's current (and strongest) line-up.
Rugh & Ryf (2022)
​
As all Doonicans studio albums are loosely themed around their perfect pastiches of classic album covers, Rugh & Ryf (pronounced ‘rock & reef’ and Middle English for ‘Rough & Ready’) takes its inspiration from Fairport Convention’s 1969 classic 'Liege & Lief' (Middle English for ‘Loyal & Ready’). Do the original band mind that these Barnsley Tykes are taking-off their most celebrated work in the most tongue-in-cheek way? On the contrary, the surviving members of the original Liege & Lief line-up all approved, with former Fairport virtuoso Richard Thompson emailing them to say, “it’s nice to be asked…as they say, imitation is the sincerest whatsit”. This is cemented by guest appearances from Fairport’s Dave Pegg on bass, and a former FC drummer (who asked to be credited as ‘Arthur Beetlaite’ or ‘AB’ to his friends), whose presence make the opening track, a parody of Fairport's perennial 'Matty Groves' all the more groove-laden and authentic.
CPL KIPPER'S BARNSLEY TRADES CLUB TURN (2020)
The 10th Anniversary Edition CD
with 120 page 'Listener's Guide' Book
Our debut album from 2010, re-recorded by Scott Doonican along with contributions from Alan Doonican and Björn Doonicansson, and an army of special musical guests, including the likes of Kathryn Roberts, Kate Rusby, Eliza Carthy, Ian McMillian, Graham Oliver founding member of metal behemoths Saxon, Hugh Whitaker from The Housemartins, Mike Harding, Dave Burland and many more. A 14-track concept album about our hometown of Barnsley, it comes along with its own 'Essential Listener's Guide' an accompanying 120-page book written by Scott Doonican, containing the lyrics to the songs, the stories behind them, and insights into the recording of the album and its evolution from 2010 to 2020.
Place Of Spades (2019)
Place Of Spades saw Scott, Alan and Björn tackling some of the more important lyrical subjects of modern troubled times... such as sheds, shoes, spiders, riders... and an elusive gasman.
'Ave It : Bold As Brass (2017)
'Ave It : Bold As Brass' tackles themes ranging from home DIY, bird watching, school lunch supervisors and a range of unsavoury characters under the umbrella of a particular noun.
T'SOUTH 0 - TARN 4 (2016)
From The Housemartins inspired 'Crappy Flowers' to the closing bars of 'Campervan of Love', this album encompasses a whole range of genres and silliness in between. Features fan-favourites such as 'Walking In Manpiss', 'Bag For Life' and 'Festival Heroes'.
The Tarn Machine (2015)
After the Mk.III line-up of the band started to make music in late 2014, this line-up of The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican released 'The Tarn Machine' the following year. 14 tracks packed with belly-laughs galore, it was always intended to be all killer and no-filler. Many of the songs from this album remain in the band's live shows to this day, including 'She's From Dodworth', 'The Devil Went Darn To Barnsley' and 'The Zipper'.
DOUBLE LIVE ALBUMS ON CD
Live At The Palace Theatre (2019)
It was bound to happen eventually, and after 13 years the Doonicans reached show #1000. We had every intention of inviting Doonifans from across the UK to Redditch Palace Theatre for the biggest celebration we could muster, and we brought a mobile recording team and film-crew to capture it all too. The physical version of this live album includes the entire uncut show over 2 CDs and also a DVD of the show too.
Scott Doonican SOUP
Recorded in Stourbridge during his 2023 'One Man Show' Tour, 'SOUP' is a double album (available on both CD and Vinyl) of Scott Doonican performing a load of fan favourites, and telling the stories behind them. The CD and Vinyl versions of the album come with an array of extra goodies, including a 60-track 'expanded' download code that also features Scott's acoustic demos for the 'Rugh & Ryf' album, and bonus live tracks too.
Scott Doonican ONE MAN SHOWS
Scott Doonican:
One Man Show
(2015)
Scott Doonican:
One Man Show Too
(2016)
Scott's ONE MAN SHOW shows have been a staple of our touring schedule since around 2013. However, in 2015, before the release of 'The Tarn Machine' Scott realised that it would be nice to 'test-run' the new songs in front of an audience that had never heard any of them before. The results were rather special, and so he did the same for the songs from the following album too. Both of these shows were recorded at The Lantern Theatre in Sheffield.
Scott Doonican's BIG NEET IN (2020-2021)
Scott Doonican:
Socially Distanced Collaborations (2021)
Scott Doonican's
BIG NEET OUT - LIVE!
(2021)
Between 2020 and 2021, almost two years of coronavirus lockdowns meant that the band were unable to hit the road and bring mirth and merriment to the masses as usual. Inevitably Scott decided to rectify this by doing an online 3 hour show every week for almost 70 weeks, aided and abetted by his better half, Amanda and her menagerie of bonkers puppets. All of the shows remain on YouTube, but the show spawned five albums (three studio albums and two live albums) including one filled with guest collaborations from the duration of BIG NEET IN.
