PETER DONEGAN

Peter Donegan & The Lonnie Donegan Band

It's easy to see why Peter Donegan is such a talent. To work alongside a hugely successful father and mentor who influenced the likes of The Beatles and Elvis Presley, and was highly rated by his peers, has to be the best apprenticeship anyone could wish for. That person was, of course, the great Lonnie Donegan .

Peter Donegan has inherited his father's charm and ability to deliver a fantastic live show. He plays acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica and piano as well as taking over as ‘front man' with the Lonnie Donegan Band.

Peter's voice is likened to his father's on songs such as ‘Rock Island Line', ‘Putting On The Style', ‘Pick A Bale Of Cotton', to name just a few but, equally, Peter settles well into the country rock and blues numbers which form a big part of his show.

Peter's passion for music shows and, yes, sometimes there's a glimpse of Lonnie for all to see, but Peter Donegan stands in nobody's shadow. He also writes his own material and has recently released an album entitled ‘Here We Go Again'.
