Our Take

Lonnie Donegan's Jubilee Concert 1st Half album is a rollicking ride through the world of skiffle music, with Donegan himself leading the charge with his signature blend of folk, blues, and good old-fashioned British rock 'n' roll. This live recording captures the energy and excitement of Donegan's performance, with each track brimming with infectious enthusiasm and toe-tapping charm.

The setlist features classics such as "Rock Island Line" and "Cumberland Gap," as well as lesser-known gems like "Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O" and "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight)?" Donegan's commanding stage presence and unmistakable twangy vocals are on full display, drawing the audience in with every strum of his guitar and every cheeky grin.

The backing band provides solid support throughout, effortlessly keeping pace with Donegan's dynamic performance. From the spirited banjo solos to the jaunty washboard rhythms, each musician brings their own unique energy to the mix, adding layers of depth and texture to the already vibrant sound.

Overall, the Jubilee Concert 1st Half album is a testament to Donegan's enduring legacy as a pioneer of skiffle music. With its infectious tunes and lively spirit, this record is sure to get your feet tapping and leave you with a smile on your face. So grab your washboard and join the party - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Lonnie Donegan

Lonnie Donegan, the man behind the legendary skiffle movement, was a true pioneer of British music in the 1950s. With his unique blend of folk, blues, and rock 'n' roll, Donegan brought a new sound to the UK music scene that would influence generations to come. Born in Glasgow in 1931, Donegan's musical talents were apparent from a young age. He learned to play multiple instruments, including the guitar, banjo, and violin, and soon began performing in local clubs and pubs. But it wasn't until the release of his hit single "Rock Island Line" in 1954 that Donegan shot to stardom. With his distinctive voice and energetic stage presence, Donegan quickly became a household name in the UK. His performances were known for their infectious energy and sing-along quality, with audiences clamouring to join in on hits like "Cumberland Gap" and "Putting on the Style." But perhaps Donegan's most lasting legacy is his influence on the British music scene as a whole. His blend of American folk and blues with British sensibilities paved the way for future artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. Sadly, Donegan passed away in 2002, but his music lives on as a testament to his enduring talent and influence. In an industry that is constantly changing, Lonnie Donegan remains a timeless icon of British music, forever immortalised as the King of Skiffle.
