I work in the BHF shop in Maidstone & I was looking thru the vinyl albums when I came across an album released in 1970 called "Lonnie Pops Lonnie Donegan today".

Amongst the tracks are "Both Sides Now" & Who knows where the time go"

Did he sing either of these songs when he played Cropredy?

Another song on the album is "A long haired lover from Liverpool"!

Thankfully not, he stuck to the material by which us old chaps remembered him.

People didn't like Rufus Wainwright's version at the Folk Awards but Lonnie's still takes the wooden spoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9vWSqH5luU

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that I thought that version was quite endearing.

I loved it, but then I think Rufus is brilliant Smiley
