Lonnie and Van produced an album together a couple of years ago, they have played together onstage a lot over the last few years. Lonnie Donnegan has also appeared at Glastonbury Festival and pretty much blown away all the under 30's who'd never heard of him. He's still a fantastic performer.Not serious folk? A 50's pop star who still makes teenagers sit up & listen with his live playing. Surely this is how folk music is born?
