OSMONDMANIA is heading for Bradford this year, with a new musical about the family coming to the Alhambra in October. Here we take a look back at when the Osmonds played the Manchester Apollo in January 1979 - a concert that many Bradford fans will recall - and some of their appearances in Bradford in more recent years. Back in 2014 y Merrill Osmond called into the Wetherby Whaler in Guiseley tucked into fish and chips with his band, ahead of a concert at City Varieties in Leeds. And in 2009 Jimmy Osmond played smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago at the Alhambra. It was a far cry from his Long Haired Lover from Liverpool days.
