💗Audio Tape Recording on Coach of Marie, Jay & Donny 👫 Day 5 “THE OSMONDS UK FAN CLUB WONDERTOUR TO USA 1977 “

Posted on January 17, 2026 by tinamckenzie.blog

I was recently having a loft clear-out weekend & I came across something VERY EXCITING ! Who remembers cassette tapes ?!! I have found original recording of Donny, Marie & Jay talking on our coach back in 1977 on Wondertour after watching D&M Show ! It’s sooo exciting ! 😉🆒

Have borrowed a tape machine to play the cassette, hope it plays OK, let’s see! Brilliant, sounds good !

And here we are 49 years later, oh dear! and many hours of transferring cassette recording to computer, editing it & putting onto SoundCloud & finally onto blog! Anyway mentioned it to Donny on Reddit Q&A last week & this was his reply:-

Haha Donny ! Some fans will be wondering what’s a tape cassette & an 8-track !! Hehe ! xx Marie ‘favorited’ on twitter too, thanks Marie xx

Have a listen, it’s a fun recording ! X https://soundcloud.com/tina-louise-mckenzie/wondertour-recording/s-rJGI0

Goodnight Everybody ! 💕 xx @donnyosmond @marieosmond donny.com marieosmond.com

💕Donny and Marie Osmond UK Tour at the BIC January 25th 2013👠

Posted on January 11, 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 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🆒🎶🎼🎵

🕺🏻💃🏻Donny and Marie ‘Deep Purple’ Vinyl LP April 1976 – My Prize as a runner-up 🥳

Status

Playing my Osmond Vinyls was ok but the bass not sounding good, was it the overall performance of the record player, was it the speakers, was it the cartridge needle ? 🎵 So recently bought a unit that a record player could be out on display & use my vinyls, wow what a difference, the overall sound quality is amazing, guess I’ll be busy listening to all those songs once more ! I counted my Osmond LP’s & there are lots of them, so let’s go !! 🎶 It’s amazing how you remember most of the words, did I really play them a lot when younger, the answer is a big YES !!🕺🏻💃🏻

The reason for headline ‘Deep Purple’ vinyl LP was the reason I’m blogging again, I came across a letter I think dated around 1976 in the sleeve of this vinyl, about a competition I was a runner-up in ‘Osmonds’ World’ Magazine, to be honest I’ve tried to remember what the competition was about, letter mentions results were published in the magazine but all these years on I do not remember ! 😂 I did buy all the copies but no longer with me ! Anyone out there have copies still of the magazine around ‘76, would you be able to check what was published ? Would be a great help X🕺🏻💃🏻👍

🥳Competition letter received, very exciting !

🎶 Remembering those songs 🎶

🎵To all of you who still have their Osmond Vinyls, keep playing & enjoying them !🎵

Goodnight Everybody ! xx
