Val Doonican. Where to start with Val Doonican. Saturday nights growing up in the late Seventies is one place to start. Val had a show oo BBC One on Saturday evenings. Mid evening. Not going out and hanging on street corners like the cool kids in your class. Not where the action was. A Stranglers concert somewhere. Out in the night....
Val in his comfy sweater and hus comfy slippers on his comfy rocking chair. Everything was comfy and safe. Val, Vickty and Lavinia his dreamy backing vocalists swaying over his shoulder. Somehow it all felt like the saddest thing on earth. Now of course you'd do anything to get back there. Two Streets is as wholesome as you could possibly want.
