Skiffle Revival CD
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.
