Nice to see Jimmy a.k.a. Big Willie Osborne sing this memorable Country and Western tune along with that now iconic special cowboy jacket to go with it.
Yeah it was a very emotional experience. Not quite in the same style as he sung in series 2 , but brilliant all the same. He sang it more like the merl haggard original.
Big Willie Osborne
true an all ,i once shared a shower with him in Dusseldorf
Oz!! Love you Oz. ❤
Still got it Jimmy.
He's miming...he's gotta be miming....thanks Dan, beautiful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Loved it the first time I heard him sing it on the show when I was 14 and still do perfectly done Jimmy
Brilliant night definitely a bucket list moment for me.
Aww i wish i could have been there. Been watching clips on Facebook. Looked amazing 😊
Im gutted i missed this show. The clips ive watched gave me goosebumps. Hoping they will do another show.
Yes it was a great show ... but its a 1 off really . Can't see there being another 1. Its being able to get all those cast and crew together for 1. So many other commitments. This was the big 1.
We saw him in Blackpool early nineties, he was very very good.
He may be a good singer, great actor in awp , iv never watched his other stuff,, but its disappointing how he treats the fans. Iv always had an open mind and hear of how he is difficult to work with , demanding and controlling. But being at the show I found out there for myself he did not want any fans , no matter how big , to certainly not go back stage , he would not do photos or signing ls for fans waiting, and he left strict instructions at the aftershow party that only cast crew and families allowed, and no photos on mobiles were allowed... best of it was, he never even went. I managed to shoe horn myself into the aftershow and the word was that Jimmy controls everything. I was told to leave by 1 of the organisers, but other cast members wanted me to stay cos they knew I was a massive fan and deserved to be there , so their word out ranked the organisers.... but if Jimmy had been there , I'd av been hoyed out for sure. It's such a shame he's not like oz in real life ... disappointing,, I wouldn't go out my way to see him again.
Shared a shower with him once in duseldorf 😂
I’d of been in tears all the way though. Gutted I missed it
I was a young Auf Wiedersehen Pet brickie '79 OZ the series brings a tear to my eye. Unlike many it was a carbon copy 'Everything'!!! Characters I'm from the same part of the world as Barry 😁 I'd love to meet the writers cos their homework was 💯
This was a great show , and I managed to shoe horn my way into the aftershow, and I was lucky enough to meet the creator of awp Franc Roddam , and writers Stan Hey and Dick Clement. It was certainly a moment being in their company... geniuses, the lot of em 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's awesome I didn't know he sang that at the 40th. The words thick grass come to mind. Great stuff
Still gutted I couldn't get tickets to this. Looks like you had a fab night ❤
Brilliant 👍
It was a very,, very emotional experience
Love Jimmy! ❤
I'm envious Daniel !!! 👍
Honestly, it was an absolutely brilliant show 👏🏻... loved every minute. And I was lucky enough to gain access to the aftershow party back at the hotel where they were all staying . Sadly Jimmy being Jimmy left strict instructions for no mobile cameras , so no photos. But he wasn't even there. Everyone else who was in the show was there . I managed to get a few sneaky pics with a lot of the cast but was looking over my shoulder incase they chucked us out lol.
Classic
That lads wasted laying bricks
.....hes not miming 🤣🤣
Has bill "ally frasier" Patterson ever appeared at an auf weidersan gig? Great actor.
No this is the first time he appeared,,, at this 40th anniversary. He's a great bloke,, a real gentleman, and loved chatting awp and looking at photos from back in the day. I feel very lucky to av had time to chat with him ... thank goodness he's completely opposite to his heavy duty villain character
Wow thats the song he sung in the country and western bar
I’m so sad that I couldn’t be there for this. Praying that a DVD comes out. And to see Bill Patterson there too….the stuff of dreams! I bet you had the night of your life mate!
It was fantastic Danny . I even managed to shoe horn myself into the aftershow party back at the hotel where they were all staying. Iv not put any pics up yet on the Facebook groups cos it's a bit swamped with everyone else's photos. I'll post in a few days. All of the cast and crew were back at the hotel except Jimmy and Julia.... im really disappointed I didn't meet Julia, but I kind of expected Jimmy to bugger off early.
@@daniellancaster4419 amazing!!! I can’t think of a better party to be at ❤️! Wouldn’t it be wonderful though if Jimmy was really like Oz in reality..
@dannypeckham3638 ..yep you're right,, you dream about this sort of thing.... and yes it would be magic if he was like Oz in real life.... but he's not. 🤷♂️. It was a bit awkward at first in the after party cos I was told by the organisers I wasn't welcome and I had to leave ,,, but a bit of a chat with 1 of the cast members and I was allowed to stay..... but not allowed to take photos. But when Tim Healy saw me there he comes over and said awww Daniel you made it in then fantastic,, and he said let's have a photo... I said " Tim I can't, it's a good job iv got pics we you already because I'm not allowed to take any in here.".... he said "WHAT?!?.. who said that , so I told him and he said bollocks to that get your camera out "🤣🤣.... hes a great bloke. So I didn't get pics with everyone at the aftershow which I'm a bit sad about , but I spoke with everyone, and I did get a few pics.... even tho I was told not to ,,, but The Gaffers word is final as far as I'm concerned. I don't go looking for trouble ,,,, but trouble and me seem to go hand in hand. 🤣🤣🤣
@@daniellancaster4419 well done for persevering mate and saying “sod it” to the awkwardness!! I can’t think of any fan that should be there more than you! The bloody politics involved in these groups!!! I’m surprised they didn’t leave little bowls of rat poison for you on the bar 🤣🤣🤣. Good old Tim…he’s The Gaffer!
@@dannypeckham3638 🤣🤣🤣👍👍😁😁... donkey shite pal , much appreciated
Big Willy Osborne!
He’s miming
Bomber, noooo 😂
Jimmy nail is great and this isn’t directed at him personally but why do all performers have a karaoke screen these days ?
Well,,, to be honest , the entire show was scripted .. when they were doing Q&As , everything came up on that screen , and who to talk with next ... its just how it is I guess. But it was a brilliant show all the same
I bet it was, would loved to of been there, I’ve been to Thornley Manor & The Barley Mow great day out the lady who owned the Manor showed us round made us tea and showed us photo albums of when they were filming there getting back to prompting screens I sing for a living and never use karaoke screens I learn all the songs I sing does my head watching performers reading from a screen how can you engage with your audience if your reading from a screen 🤷🏻♂️
@DB-ji5bq yeah it certainly was.. this was the gig we've all waited for. I was lucky to shoe horn myself into the aftershow party but Jimmy didn't go and neither did Julia tobin, but everyone else who was at the show were there.
Yes the lady at "Thornely manor " was lovely.. Mrs Matthews.. but sadly she died and the house was sold a few years ago. Another stroke of luck I had , I managed to aquire the front door from Thornely manor. I did a little video on CZcams its on my channel explaining how I got it and where it is today.
I think the karaoke screen was just a matter of course , and im sure when Jimmy was singing he'll av engaged with the crowd, he mustve known the words. From the angle I sat , I couldn't tell how much he and everyone else used the screens
@@daniellancaster4419 that’s a great story about the door 👍
Oz sounded way better
