Featuring Peter Donegan. With all the GREAT HITS: Putting On the Style, Rock Island Line, Pick a bale of Cotton, Have a drink on me! and many more. Peter began in the entertainment business at the age of five at the Barbara Speak Stage School in London. After this he was educated by his father Lonnie Donegan, M.B.E. Once Peter turned eighteen, he was invited to join the Lonnie Donegan Band, performing as keyboard player. Peter spent two years in the band where he was able to learn hands on from the experience of his father Lonnie and during that time he also worked with Van Morrison. He has gone on to appear with a kaleidoscope of well known artistes including Chas 'n' Dave, Billy Bragg, Rolf Harris, Ralf McTell, The Barron Nights, Rick Wakeman, Mark Knopfler, Joe Brown, Roger Daltry, Joe Cocker, Chris Barber, Bruce Welch and Chris Farlow. Now, during this special solo concert hosted by BBC Radio’s Paul Harris, Peter will be playing a mixture of material that Lonnie played but in Peter’s own style and new material written by Peter. There will also be a chance for audience questions as Peter tells never before heard stories of life with his legendary father behind the scenes in showbiz. Come along and join in with all the great songs, and many more. This is terrific entertainment for all ages.
