VA - Great UK Skiffle Boom 2023 nzbONLY



Very nearly seventy years after the event, it’s impossible to convey just how big an impact SKIFFLE had upon the teenaged youth of an austere, sepia-tinted, post-WW2 UK.

It was an almost exclusively British phenomenon, propelled by home-made, DIY simplicity; a cheap, bottom-of-the-range banjo or acoustic guitar; a stand-up tea chest bass; a washboard; a handful of thimbles; and a kazoo, from Woolworths (optional).

It’s no exaggeration to say that Lonnie Donegan’s frantic ‘Rock Island Line’, which made the charts in January 1956, changed everything; it threw the ‘rule book’ out of the window.
