Lonnie Donegan performing at the Daily Mirror Festival.
4th December 1956.
Famous skiffle player who was famous with hits like " My old mans a dustman"
To look at Lonnie Donegan today, in pictures taken 40 years ago when he was topping the British charts and hitting the top ten in America, dressed in his suit, his hair cut short and strumming an acoustic guitar, he looks like a musical non-entity. But in 1954 before anyone knew what Rock n Roll was, Donegan was cool, and his music was hot. Donegan invented a style of music, " Skiffle", that completely altered the pop culture landscape

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the iconic Daily Mirror Festival on 4th December 1956, where Lonnie Donegan graced the stage with his mesmerizing performance. Known as a famous skiffle player, Donegan's talent shone through hits like "My old man's a dustman". Looking at this snapshot from four decades ago, we witness a transformation in Donegan's appearance. Dressed impeccably in a suit, his hair neatly cut short, and strumming an acoustic guitar effortlessly, he may seem like just another musician. However, during those early years of rock 'n' roll when the genre was still taking shape in people's minds, Donegan stood out as cool and innovative. In fact, it was in 1954 that Donegan revolutionized popular music by inventing "Skiffle" a style that would forever change the cultural landscape. This unique blend of folk, jazz, blues, and American roots music resonated deeply with audiences across Britain and even made its mark on American charts. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Memory Lane Prints without any commercial intent or association with the company itself - we are reminded of Lonnie Donegan's immense influence on music history during the vibrant era of the 1950s.
