I like Lonnie Donnegan, he was hard working (That probably upset a lot of the folk who met him) as I understood it he was working right up to the time he died.

He also (So far as I know) had no involvement with drugs and didn't court publicity by smashing up his hotel room or his guitar or engage in all the horrendous publicity stunts that todays dreary mob of iliterates get up to.

So he moaned a bit, so what I moan a lot Just glad no one is trying to make a buck by writing about me
Very true Losos - pity he was negative though when he achieved so much - I have read many biographies and they are pretty well balanced (by respected authors)
I think if you are a negative personality, there's little can change that

My friend and I saw Lonnie Donegan at the Bristol Hippodrome in '57, he was great .... we queued at the stage door after the show to get him to sign our autograph books.
