about

Recorded live at The Forum, Barrow-In-Furness
Saturday 22nd November 2014

Our first time visiting Cumbria featured a 314 mile round trip, but was worth every mile. After losing Alan Doonican #1 on the first night of our first ever tour of the UK, The Bar-Steward Sons managed to hold an on-going record for every night of the 10-night tour by sporting a different line-up each night until the final weekend in Liverpool and Preston!

However, in this incarnation of our merry band, we find Scott and Björn performing to a sold out Forum theatre in Barrow-In-Furness in front of a 530-strong audience.

Thanks to Amanda White, Andy Doonican, Foxy Doonican, Bobby Doonican, Alan Doonican #2, Alan Doonican #1, Anne, Brent & Watson, Kay Fitzpatrick, Bernard, Dickie, Bob, Billy, Kenny & Jo and all the staff at The Forum.

This album is dedicated to the rather considerate chaps in UB40 for not allowing us to use the access lift at Sheffield O2, forcing us to lug our gear up three flights of stairs. Cheers!
