REVIEW: The Osmonds, Portsmouth Guildhall
Now five decades later three of the brothers Merrill, Jay and cute little Jimmy are back on the road touring the UK with an Andy Williams-inspired Christmas Spectacular. And what a coup it was for The Guildhall. The venue was packed with hundreds of die-hard fans including me.
Although a festive show, the trio sang many of their hits such as Love Me For A Reason, Let Me In and treated us to a foot- stomping rendition of Crazy Horses which sent the audience wild and ended with a well-deserved standing ovation. That was followed by a mass singalong to Silent Night.
Until now the closest I had got to my idols was the posters on my bedroom wall as a teen.
A fabulous evening’s entertainment. Osmondmania was back, at least for one magical evening at the Guildhall.
