In the mid 1950's, just as Rockabilly was emerging from the USA, kids in Britain were forming bands of their own playing what became known as Skiffle.
This D-I-Y music soon became the all the rage, and by 1956 a whole host of Skiffle artists, led by the likes of The Vipers Skiffle Group and Lonnie Donegan, had bombarded the national charts. Just like Rockabilly continued for five decades since it's birth, as has Skiffle. 'Skiffle Revival' is a showcase of the bands that have brought this music into the 21st century, with 26 tracks featuring such bands as The Gutter Brothers, Macavity's Cat, Ivor & The Engines, Terry & Gerry, Ugly Dog Skiffle Combo and many others.
