David and Rod Davis in Germany

On 20th May I flew out to Germany with Rod Davis from the Quarrymen.

Rod, like many people, didn’t realise that I play guitar and sing a bit too! So he suggested that ge would do a talk with songs, I would do my talk, and then we would sing some songs together. What an honour that was for me and we had so much fun too!!

Have a look at the video I’ve just uploaded to our YouTube channel and I hope you forgive the camera work from those watching and my singing too!

Rock Island Line by The Quarrymen

George Harrison said, “No Lonnie Donegan, no Beatles” and he was right. It was Lonnie who started the skiffle craze and got John Lennon to start The Quarrymen, which started the Beatles!

Here are the Quarrymen performing “Rock Island Line”
