Join AVID Entertainment as we set out to prove that Skiffle was a little more than just a vehicle for a certain Mr Lonnie Donegan!
Our Essential Skiffle collection unashamedly includes a number of the great mans efforts but we are however pleased to include a number of other contenders for the Skiffle crown. Chas McDevitt for one, had a number of hits and was indeed huge in the States for a while. Meanwhile Lonnie’s nemeses The Vipers were always hot on his heels trying to stop him nicking their songs! Then who could ever forget Johnny Duncan’s Last Train To San Fernando or Dick Bishop’s It Takes A Worried Man. Along the way we feature classic British jazzmen Ken Colyer and Chris Barber both of whom found some success with this most limited of musical genres. And let’s not forget the ladies of Skiffle, the legendary Peggy Seeger is featured here, as are Beryl Bryden and Betty Smith.
Skiffle had it’s own unique place in British musical history and without it we would not have The Beatles, The Stones or Led Zeppelin, to say nothing of all the bands those three alone have influenced! For a craze that lasted for such a short time and that was so musically limited Skiffle proved, ( in the same way that Punk would do twenty years later), that anyone can make it if they have the energy and determination to succeed ( of course, a modicum of talent also helps too!) Our Skiffle survey takes in the highlights of this funny old genre and gives it a good old shaking down, and you know, it makes for a really enjoyable listening experience!
So pick up yer washboard, give yer comb a clean and start skiffling!
