Midnight Special - Leo Sayer, Peter Donegan @ Rock Island Line 65th Anniversary

I had the honor of performing this old Leadbelly song with the legend that is - Leo Sayer. One hell of a guy and artist.
This was performed at the Rock Island Line 65th Anniversary concert to commemorate the recording of dad (Lonnie Donegan)'s first British Industry Changing hit.

@@peterdoneganmusic Hi Peter
I live in Leeds Kent I have been a fan of your dads since I was 12 I’m 71 now.I met you once twenty odd years ago when you were playing with your dads band in Tunbridge Wells you signed your autograph for me I also got your dads .I went to as many Of Lonnie’s concerts as I could and met him quite a few times he was always generous with his time after the shows and always came to speak to the fans he was a tremendous live performer.I try to play one of his albums everyday I think I have them all on vinyl
I have followed your career as well and do have your CDs which I enjoy
Thank you for your reply most appreciated
Kind Regards
Mick Yates

@@Mick71x oh great! Thanks for that and glad you’ve got all out music. Very honored.
I hope to see you at a gig soon. Its 20 years over due.

Great rendition ❤ @LeoSayer; hope you’re not offended but you got BETTER with age ! @PeterDonegan: of course I knew Rock Island Line, but lately reviewing your dad’s performances made me realize he was a class by himself: putting his heart into the music, making fun, great person, never arrogant, just joyful 😊😊 You must have had a great time while he was alive and still miss him now.

Very dynamic performance!

[@dafunk39]

I just learned a lot about Leo Sayer!!

[@patriciasnyder6915]

Leo, I think you are better than when you came out with “you make me feel like dancing” - one or two years ago.
Peter Donegan, you are extremely talented. I am glad I stumbled across the Voice UK.

[@aarenmyatt4509]

Peter Donegan gets on stage with all the legends! Peter, could you do more duets with Leo? Here's some songs I think you'd be awesome at. Orchard road, Moonlighting, Don't wait until tomorrow, One man band, Long tall glasses, Giving it all away and my favorite Dancing the night away.

[@marlenepetiaye7625]

Amazing!!!! Please, one more time, excuse me for the big mistake i made.
I used to listen to Blake shelton, Willie Nelson........................................ my son (autistic) owns a few C. Ds of country and for me, it's just unbelievable that he chose this style of music that he bought with his own money.
I'm going to search your songs to listen to .
Kisses, Hugs fom me to you . Have a good night dear !!!

[@peterdoneganmusic]

Oh! Some of my favorites too! Especially Willie.
I wrote a song called Thank You Texas which includes a reference to Willie.
