GUEST,PS: from Roger Rettig Lonnie Donegan's guitarists (65* d) RE: Lonnie Donegan's guitarists..... 10 Feb 07

I did have an enjoyable reunion with Adam Faith a few years ago....

I was playing steel and electric guitar for Freddie Starr on a Carlton TV 'Freddie Starr Show'. Adam was Fred's guest, and we did 'Have A Drink On Me' as a sort-of Lonnie tribute (this was before Lon's sad demise). Roger McKew played banjo, and I played a Martin M-38.

I mention this because I had a lovely chat with Adam, not only about Lonnie (who he LOVED!), but also about his 1960 film, 'Never Let Go'! I've always liked this movie. It's a great cast (Peter Sellers, Richard Todd, David Lodge, etc...), and has some terrific North London locations, featuring plenty of London Trolleybuses (another of my obsessions).

Adam's self-deprecating assessment of the film? 'I was awful in it, but I was in a film with Peter Sellers, and they can never take that away from me!'
