One of Adam Faith's achievements was his readiness to champion Lonnie Donegan whose career had got a bit sidelined into panto and end-of-the-pier stuff. Adam Faith banged on about Lonnie's crucial place in British cultural history, and eventually got the media to recognise it too, luckily before Lonnie cashed in his chips.
   Soemthing to watch out for if you're planning any gigs in Stoke(as I often do!!). Adam Faith died when rehearsing a theatre show in Stoke. The day Lonnie died, he was scheduled to play Stoke.
