Celebrate the music and life of Lonnie Donegan with
PETER & ANTHONY DONEGAN: LONNIE DONEGAN, THE STORIES
The Concorde Club, Eastleigh | Thursday 1st May
Award-winning songwriter and star of The Voice UK, Peter Donegan and his older brother Anthony Donegan present a fantastic and unique evening of songs and stories about their legendary father - The King of Skiffle - Lonnie Donegan, at The Concorde Club, Eastleigh on Thursday 1st May.
Singer, songwriter and musician, Lonnie Donegan was a staple in the British music industry from the 1950’s. Achieving 31 UK top 30 hit singles and spending 335 weeks on the official singles chart, Lonnie gained three number one hits; Cumberland Gap, Gamblin’ Man/Putting On The Style and My Old Man’s A Dustman. In 1995, Lonnie received an Ivor Novello lifetime achievement award and in 2000 he was made an MBE.
Peter Donegan toured with his father as his pianist from the age of 18. In 2019, Peter entered ITV’s The Voice where Sir Tom Jones turned his chair during his audition, before they performed a duet of I’ll Never Fall In Love Again, a song that Lonnie had written for Tom in the 1960’s.
Anthony Donegan continues to keep the Skiffle legacy alive, and has performed at theatres, festivals and events in the UK and abroad.
For this exclusive event, Peter and Anthony are joining together to celebrate the life and legacy of their father Lonnie. Packed with laughter, singing and a lot of foot-stomping fun, the brothers bring you a unique, ‘behind-the-scenes’ glimpse into life growing up with a musical legend as a father.
Peter Donegan said “We are really looking forward to performing at The Concorde Club and bringing the theatre alive with the music of our late father. We will be sharing insights into our lives as we grew up and performing some of the very best of Lonnie’s music.”
“We consider this ‘pay-back’ for all the stories he used to tell about us!” laughs Peter Donegan. “He sure shocked the neighbours, in a way that would have surely shocked Mary Whitehouse.” “Expect some outrageous (not suitable for the faint-hearted) as well some heart-warming stories. (Some profanity included.)”
Join Peter & Anthony Donegan as they present Lonnie Donegan, The Stories, at The Concorde Club, Eastleigh on Thursday 1st May.
