- 1960s rock n roll singer Vince Eager talks about the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group and Lonnie Donegan's importance to skiffle and the 1950s and 1960s music scene.
Vince Eager, a singer signed by Larry Parnes, the pop impresario, was inspired to be a musician by Lonnie Donegan and saw his first ever performances as the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group in Nottingham. Vince went out and bought Rock Island Line, put his harmonica down and formed a skiffle group.
So many musicians, like The Beatles who emerged from the Quarrymen Skiffle Group, Vince's skiffle group became a rock n roll group.
Vince also tells how he sang with Lonnie at his last-ever performance.
