He can also whistle better than me!

He was unique in playing the banjo like a guitar. And there is an entire story behind it.

I would loved to have seen Lonnie perform in his early days. Sadly, I was born two decades later.

...heard first time I was nineteen by my youth !

Très belle chanson 👍 😊

Och Aye

Hearing Lonnie singing this song from yesteryear, frigging awesome. People today, have no clue who he is or what his contribution to modern music. How ironic that a Scot sings about an event in 1840. Fantastic.

Brilliant

Yarmouth ha ha

Fcuk me those boys could play ❤️

Officially the first punk rock song in the history of music

Came here after watching the son on the voice..by the way legacy is safe❤

Man can somebody for God's sake tell me ALL the names of Lonnie's bandmates on this particular video? 🙏

TERRIFIC, THE BEST, LOVE THE BANJO RIGHT IN THERE!!!!!!! NH USA

Does he have his chewing gum?

Punk rock before punk rock.

9 years & 9 days, before I was born,, ! 23rd May 1968, from northern Ireland UK, 🤝

I love him 45 years from my 15

if the blacklist brought you here u have my respect❤️

Some very strange hairstyles but a great version of this song.

I’ll add to my comment…… this man is the most important influence on British music than all your fancy,classical,and especially Jazz musicians,who,mostly didn’t make the average kid want to make music !

As a 13 year old in London at this time,to me,Lonnie Donegan was ,compared to the cheesy middle of the road British singers of the time, a fucking visitor from outer space ! He was the reason I begged for a guitar, and now ,as an 80 year old, can look back on a life,and career, in music ,which goes on ,even today. Thank you Lonnie, for leading all us future guitar based musicians, on a path to fun and satisfaction!

The undisputed king of skiffle.

lets gamble !!!!

When are these shows going to be seen again on National T.V.

This man should have a posthumous knighthood. More than anyone else, he was responsible for the breakout of British music into the world and for it to become so dominent in so many fields. He inspired so many wannabees to learn the guitar, get together with a few mates and do their thing on a stage culminating in the 60's American Invasion by British acts that changed the whole direction of popular music. They all acknowledge their debt to Lonnie. This performance is a good example of the driving raw energy that put him at the top of the tree in the Britskiffle genre.

I’m on a lonnie trip and I’m having a great time.

Good that

Lonnie had great influence on my generation Radio only impacted us in 59 ish RIP LEGEND Got me into guitar 🙏🌈

Great energy ✌🏽🙏

It is the only "live on TV shows" song...or exists other ? Best wishes from France

Lonnie was a great banjo player (tuned same a guitar). CONGRATULATIONS to the musicians : the song is in key of G (not usual key for Bb instruments (tp, cl.) Lonnie has recorded this song with Ian Menzies. Best wishes from France to you all LONNIE DONEGAN fans.

Man, I sure do love the quarrymen

Einer der Allerbesten
