I am VERY sad to say, I wasn’t in a position to go to any of the 50+ concerts of this final Osmonds UK Tour, however, I did manage to get over to my local Tesco’s at Fforestfach, Swansea and right near the front of the queue for their CD signing… so I did manage to get a very quick Osmond hug (they are the best kind) and was able to say to Merrill – or rather to thank him/them for being in my life – he said “aww bless you” and squeezed my hand really tight… oh and of course, I got my CD signed, I will upload a piccy of that just as soon as I can get near the scanner.

So that was my very small Osmond moment BUT I would love to include lots of Osmond Moments here on the site (with pictures if available) and I am sure my readers would love it also.

So if you fancy that, then please use the Contact Me form (just click those words to go straight to the form) to get in touch with me. When I hear from you, I will email you with the details I need and where to email them.

Please don’t think you have to be “some kind of writer” to get involved, we would rather hear it in your own words and please don’t think you have to right a whole chapter (you can if you want), just a couple of lines is fine.

I will then include you as a guest author on this site – simples!

Please do help to spread the word amongst your friends on Facebook (or anywhere else) by using the Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc buttons you will find at the top and bottom of every post on this site, that way, hopefully we will get a really good collection of stories from this last Osmond UK “Up Close and Personal” Tour.

If you are not sure what to do, just leave a comment below (or you can just comment if you want lol).

WOW! just WOW! and I think I am going to faint – not good for an almost 50 year old grandma – ‘scuse me whilst I just throw some scatter cushions on the floor before I take yet another look at this gorgeous photo of Donny Osmond taken of the “finale moment” at one of the Osmonds 50th Anniversary UK concert venues, Donny is also a grandparent I might add and I simply do not remember my grandfather looking like that!

Do you want to know what else I think about this stunning piece of photography taken by Jeremy Hall?

No you do not! Get yourselves over to Jeremy’s What’s Gotta Stay  Website and take a gander (after placing cushions on floor, or perhaps get on the floor first and then view the photo, good time saver)..

Go on, go, scoot.. you can always come back here and tell me your reaction in the comment area after you have recovered, I mean finished looking at it – especially if you feel your comment may not be right for Jeremy’s site LOL I know, how about one comment there, one here LOL..

No seriously go check it out, again some wonderful work by Jeremy, Kudos to you JH.

If you want to keep up to date on The Osmonds 50th Anniversary World Tour, including, mini blogs and exclusive photography then look no further than Jeremy Hall and his two websites.

He is the official photographer and is on tour with the Osmonds right now and is of course granted exclusive access, so you will get to see photos from behind the scenes as well as fantastic concert pictures.

The behind the scenes stuff is absolutely amazing, especially for an Osmond fan as you basically get to see “The Tour Process” in action and Jeremy always manages to get unusual and ‘real’ photos which really makes you feel a part of the tour, this is helped tremendously by the ‘mini blogs’ which often accompany these exclusive shots.

I also like the fact that Jeremy shows us photo’s of the places they are visiting on the tour, Jeremy loves to photograph architecture and is excellent at spotting angles to take shots from and making just normal scenes and buildings come to life, so check out those photo’s as well, oh AND a picture of Jeremy himself with Neil Diamond, Neil was a guest on the Jonathan Ross Show at the same time as The Osmonds.

You can see photos and mini blogs by visiting and bookmarking these two websites (which are also in my “featured links” list on Osmonds Galore):

Jeremy’s blog: “What’s Gotta Stay“

Jeremy’s Website: “Osmondmania.com 2008 World Tour“

Sometime after the tour finishes Jeremy will be putting a tour book together and having seen his work before I can pretty much guarantee the absolute value of one of these books.

But until we can get our sticky little mitts on this fabulous book, Jeremy has permission to show a few “teasers” so my advise, bookmark the two sites, subscribe to Jeremy’s “What’s Gotta Stay“ and check there daily as he posts normally once or twice a day directly from the tour.

Admin Note – 1st May 2012 – You can now purchase this book from the Donny.com store and here is the link: Donny Store (note this is not an affiliate link, it is just a direct link into the store).
