29th<\/sup> \u2013 Lonnie Donegan Story

REVIEWS<\/strong>:
Julia Hubery and Mark Willis: “Fantastically energetic, informative & fun night. We especially liked “Sloop John B”<\/em> never heard it played like that! Hope we’ll be seeing more of this great mix of musicians again.  Would have been happy to listen to them till 4am.”
John & Brenda Bugg: “All together now,
Putting on the mimicry, but with loads of style,
That’s what Warren James does, and makes the whole club smile.
Like us, he loves dear Lonnie, he sings right from the heart,
His old man, may be a dustman, but we’re all aboard his cart.”
Gill, Richard, Gwyn and John: “Good to have this band back again.  Brilliant evening\u2019s entertainment and historical information about Lonnie.”
Maureen & John Carter: “A wonderful trip down memory lane.  A vivid reminder of out teenage years in the late 1950’s, pure nostalgia.”
Bob, Stella, Veronica and Jan: “Absolutely fantastic – what a wealth of knowledge.  Great musicians & entertainment.”
Nick & Heather Anderson and Carole Mort: “Great perspective on the life of an entertainer.  Very brilliant.”
The Pittard Family & friends: “Brings back many memories, they done Lonnie Donegan proud.”
Yvonne, Jenny, Juliette and Tessa: “Very enjoyable evening of excellent musicianship.  Took us back to our misspent youth, and all the fun we had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
