D"
The
brand new musical depicting the life of the well
known "King of Skiffle" and "Godfather
of Rock", LONNIE DONEGAN.
The shows title "Lonnie D" is
taken from the title of one of Chas & Dave's
songs which is used as the opening and title song of the production.The
song was cleverly written as a tribute to Lonnie, with the lyrics
of the song are made up of the titles (and some of the key frases)
of Lonnie's hits.
