Hello everyone! Back in the 50s a chap called #LonnieDonegan stepped out of the shadows with his Martin guitar, and changed British music forever. In November, I'm playing many of those great songs with his incredibly talented son, Peter. Come and see us!

Nipped to see this old #lonniedonegan fan. My dad 80 today. #happybirthday

November 11, 1956 #PaulMcCartney saw skiffle king #LonnieDonegan perform at the Empire Theater in Liverpool.
The concert inspired McCartney to start playing guitar.

Shortly after, he exchanged the trumpet given by his father on his 14th birthday for a guitar.
