Lonnie Donegan and me

Think that is the correct title of the programme aired late on Sunday in ITV. OH recorded it and I watched it yesterday. Though not a Lonnie D fan, I am a fan of Jim Carter, who presented the programme, interviewing several people in the music industry, including Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

My best friend at school was in Lonnie's fan club, and attended a meeting in Hull, where she met her idol. I wonder if she watched it, must ask her.

It was a trip down memory lane for OH and myself.

Glad you enjoyed the programme spreckers, takes you back.

Jim Carter is quite a knowledge of 1950's / 1960's rock and roll, seem to remember he was on a Quiz about it once?

Don't know about Jim Carter's winning a music quiz, but I love his voice and will watch anything he is in.

My only memory of enjoying a pantomime was going to either York or Leeds to see LD as buttons. I was old enough to realise the chemistry that existed between LD and the woman playing Cinders. Some months later it was reported that he had left his partner and was going to marry Cinderella. He was amazing as I remember, in the Panto. A bit like Jerry Lewis playing the cool version of himself in some film where he played his usual idiot self and his own double.
