💙Day 3 My Day to Day Diary of “THE OSMONDS UK FAN CLUB WONDERTOUR TO USA 1977”

Posted on August 30, 2026 by tinamckenzie.blog

Tuesday 30th August 1977

Today we go to “Marineland”. It was a lovely place, about hour’s drive. It seemed a bit misty near Long Beach Waterfront. We spent the morning there seeing the fishes & whales called Orky & CORKY, they were large ! I bought dolphin salt & pepper shakes for mum & dad. On the way back we were dying to go to the studios again ! We arrived there around 430pm but Aydin said we were unable to go in ! Donny and Marie were inside ! What to do now ?! They would be out around 7pm, so we decided to go to Sunset Blvd to a Record Discount store to buy Donny’s new L.P. “Donald Clark Osmond” for $ 4.20.

The pic on the front is too much for words ! We walked back slowly passing time, we went to the guardhouse again but Aydin then told us about 10 mins after we left THEY left !! We were so mad ! Why of all days did they have to leave early. We felt like crying, I really did. We travelled home quietly so annoyed, so near but so far ! We could go in Wednesday according to Aydin but we had “Universal Studios” tour in the afternoon ! Mum & Dad what should I do ? Let’s see what we feel like doing in the morning ! It’s 12.30am Wednesday morning, goodnight everybody !

💕Donny and Marie Osmond UK Tour at the BIC Bournemouth Dorset January 25th 2013👠 FRONT ROW SEATS WON ! 🥰

Posted on August 8, 2026 by tinamckenzie.blog

Where do I start ! The day’s Friday 25th January 2013 and I’m going with my friend Jackie to BIC BOURNEMOUTH DORSET to see Donny and Marie on their UK Tour. Lots of tweets were being sent by both Donny and Marie keeping us informed of their activities which is always fun, but the added bonus with Marie was that she was running a competition via twitter for later in the show to tweet through your seat no., row and block you were seated in and screen on stage to say ‘tweet now’, she randomly would choose a winner to have 2 front row seats and backstage passes to meet both of them after – wow had to give that a go ! I prepared ahead of time, put all details into a tweet ‘draft’, after taking our seats I sent the tweet through, so did many others I’m sure!
The show began, brilliant to see them both, Marie finished her song, she started to explain about the twitter comp and announced here’s the winner ‘tina louise mckenzie’ ! Jackie and I looked at each other-jackie said she was gonna kill me!! yes we had won 2 seats in Row A ! This was the start of something truly FANTASTIC XXX

We were taken down the front, Marie asked if we had made it down ok, so I thanked her and shook her hand ! It was a brilliant brilliant concert, we have never been in Row A before !

They are incredible, so wonderful, could watch them all day every day!
During the interval we were shown around backstage, had photos taken on stage, introduced to everyone ( not D and M), and led back to our seats, all the team were so nice.

The brilliant show finished, we were led to wait backstage, how was I feeling, I’m not sure, already on cloud nine from beginning of day and a few clouds higher during the concert and now even higher at this stage! Donny was in his dressing room, Marie joined us. They were wonderful, had a lovely chat and photos taken, then it was time to dash!
What can I say about the experience, words fail me. It was the best evening ever thanks to Donny and Marie & all the Crew, thank you sooo much XX Will that ever happen again, Iet’s hope so ! (now 2017 UK TOUR booked!) 💃🏻Let you know a secret, I was VERY lucky to have been chosen that evening as I was random second choice as tweet from random first choice was incomplete with seat details so I won instead, sorry for whoever missed out but SO pleased for me !! 🩷 💃🏻 xx

UPDATE ON 22nd April 2016:- Booked tickets for Donny’s UK TOUR in 2017 ROW C, strangely it’s at same place, month & day as this experience ! Must mean something !! XX🆒🎶🎼🎵
