Desmond Carrington -after Seven

on BBC Radio 2

5/6. Desmond Carrington profiles historically significant entertainers from the worlds of cabaret, revue and theatre. He continues with cardigan-wearing, rocking-chair-based Irish crooner Val Doonican.
A self-taught musician and arranger, and radio, TV and cabaret favourite, Doonican hit the big time with cosy songs like his 1964 debut hit Walk Tall, The Special Years, What Would I Be and If the Whole World
Stopped Lovin'. Aged 79 and still performing, he chats informally about his career.
