Thanks for ALL your Lonnie music. Those of us lucky to have been buyers of Lonnie in the 50s, can remember the “Revolution” he started. As an old “git” of 84, I still really enjoy the music and the memories you provide. Lonnie used to play with Chris Barber at The Wood Green Jazz Club, which is where I first heard him. Great days, great memories. Eric .
Does anyone know who his guitarist was during this period? He did some superb work on this, in particular on Whoa Buck (b side of Fort Worth Jail - live version was little licks to die for) yet I can’t find a credit for him anywhere.
The band formally the Tony Donegan Jazz Band and then the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group. Musicians with Lonnie on this track - Les Bennetts , Lead Guitar, John 'Nick' Nicols, Drums, Pete Huggett, Double Bass and the backing duo Miki & Griff. Great music.
Excellent 👍

if you look for this same live track elsewhere on RUclips, it includes Lonnie talking to Chris Barber before and after the number.
Lonnie 'The King' - R.I.P.
Brilliant, and a word for the band too, especially Les Bennetts on lead guitar.
What a great performance. I wore the grooves out of my original 78 record playing this over and over.

Can anyone name the band please?
