About this event
Songs, stories and anecdotes from the life and times of a true British music legend.
Award winning songwriter and star of The Voice UK, Peter Donegan, and his older brother Anthony Donegan present a fantastic and unique evening of Lonnie’s songs, plus stories about their legendary father, ‘The King of Skiffle’ - Lonnie Donegan.
This is a unique, ‘behind-the-scenes’ glimpse into life growing up with a musical legend as a father.
Expect huge laughs, singing and lots of foot stomping fun.
“He sure shocked the neighbours, in a way that would have surely shocked Mary Whitehouse.”
“There’s gonna be some outrageous as well some heart-warming stories.” (Some profanity included)... we consider this ‘pay-back’ for all the stories he used tell about us!” Laughs Peter Donegan.
For audiences of strictly 18+
