The Lonnie Donegan Official Website
Lonnie Donegan MBE, the King Of Skiffle and 'first real British pop superstar' was born on 29 April 1931 and celebrated his 50th year in the music business in 2001. He shot to fame in 1956, when Rock Island Line sold an unprecedented 3 million copies, shooting into the British and American top ten. Britain had never heard anything like it and youngsters were hooked on skiffle.
The Dodge Brothers
The Dodge Brothers are renowned for playing the hell out of classic Americana. Singing songs about transport, heartbreak and homicide, they render distinctive narratives of mean women, bad men and railroads and set them to hard driving rhythms. Top skiffle band.
The Legendary Kid Combo
You have got to see this!!! More cowboy than skiffle but superb.
Presli Pete and The Bluestone Boys
A six-piece band comprising tea-chest bass, guitar, keyboards drums, percussion, bass and flawless harmony vocals, not forgetting the outrageous use of kazoos, Preseli Pete play shamelessly feel-good music with energy, wit and accomplishment. Blending classic skiffle melodies of the 50's and 60's with their own original material, they add a soupçon of famous pop tunes from the last three decades and give it all the unique Preseli Pete foot-stomping twist.

All the show songs are uniquely re-created in the bands own style.
Billy Goat Gruff
Superb bluegrass band from the USA playing original material...and using a washboard. Their CD "Wild and Overgrown" is a must. Close enough to skiffle for me.
Vince Eager
Vince became a household name with over 100 TV appearances on shows such as Six Five Special, Oh Boy and Drumbeat. Vince released 14 singles and 5 albums. Many of today's compilation CD's feature Vince's 1959 - 61 recordings. Vince also played with Lonnie Donegan on his last ever show.
