Does anybody know if it is true that "My Old Man's a Dustman" was recorded live in the Doncaster Gaumont? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.50.162.251 ( talk) 11:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Check out the new version of My Old Man's A Dustman by Lonnie's son Lonnie Donegan Jnr. Sounds great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxO2nmC1kNg
"[...] a version of Leadbelly's "Rock Island Line" [...] is probably still his best known."
"There was a reunion concert with the original Chris barber Band in Croydon in June 1975 - notable for a bomb scare, meaning that the CD had to be finished in the studio,"
Presumably the term "album" would be more appropriate here? CDs did not exist until 1982. 217.155.20.163 01:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
He owns the song, correct? It's not mentioned here.
It might be of interest to Donegan fans that Tony Donegan Lonnies eldest son also continues to perform much of Lonnies material with the same zest as his father. Anthonys own account of his father and his own biography appear on Anthonys web site www.lonniedoneganjnr.com George1934 ( talk) 19:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by George1934 ( talk • contribs) 19:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

There's no question; Donegan's solo and collaborative work needs a Discography page of it's own. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 01:55, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Suggest that Lonnie's personal info- wifes, kids, place of birth etc- be put under one heading and the info expanded. Also suggest that his character is covered under the same heading. Apparently, he was fun loving but, like many talented people, could be cantankerous at times. He was also resentful of the 1960s UK pop groups, blaming them for eclipsing his career. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/biographyandmemoirreviews/9678833/Lonnie-Donegan-and-the-Birth-of-British-Rock-and-Roll-by-Patrick-Humphries-review.html CPES ( talk) 15:50, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
PS: a few other links for reference,
A fair amount of Lonnie's early material seems to be covers of Kingston Trio recordings: Tom Dooley and San Miguel certainly, and probably also:
Is this worth a mention in the article?

I don't know if this needs to be mentioned in the article, but the title of his first album was a misnomer. He was in fact a Scotsman singing American folk songs. Timothy Horrigan ( talk) 03:25, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
My version of the 45 is definitely not acapella. It has a whole orchestra on there. There's no skiffle group and he doesn't play guitar on it (As far as I know...), but that hardly counts as unaccompanied. Deke42 ( talk) 11:42, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Stewart doesn't just allude to or characterize Donegan in "Katherineof Oregon"--he mentions him by name:
I'll have a jukebox and play Lonnie Donegan And I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon Texastriviaguy ( talk) 00:03, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
