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. This 2CD c ompilation features all the singers, strummers, strokers and scratchers at the forefront of the UK Skiffle Boom - more than 40 different groups/artists are featured - and includes many of the genre's biggest hits. An almost exclusively British phenomenon, propelled by home-made DIY simplicity; a cheap banjo or acoustic guitar; a stand-up tea chest bass; a washboard; a handful of thimbles; and a kazoo from Woolworths (optional). About this product: this CD is housed in a jewelcase. Show more
