A Rockabilly Hall oF Hame Presentation

SKIFFLE: A style of music played on rudimentary instruments, first popularized in the United States in the 1920s but revived by British musicians in the mid-1950s. The first use of the skiffle name on records was in 1925 by the unknown Jimmy O'Bryant and his Chicago Skifflers.
          It has been estimated that in the late 1950s there were thousands of skiffle groups in England. Skiffle, that bore a passing resemblance to rockabilly, which was growing in popularity in the States during the same period that skiffle was taking Great Britain by storm.
          It gave the working class a chance to start their own bands and indeed Skiffle groups were formed in every town and village across Britain. Lonnie Donegan was the only skiffle act to make a serious impact on the charts. The skiffle craze was largely over by 1958 as its enthusiasts either abandoned music for more stable employment, or moved into some of the forms of music it had first suggested, including folk, the blues and rock and roll.
          On this site we offer a wide range of "shiffle" ... old skiffle, new skiffle, foreign and loosely related skiffle.

The Legends of Skiffle video

Jimmy O'Bryant and his Chicago Skifflers
His sound often was used to describe country blues music records, which included the compilation "Hometown Skiffle" (1929), and "Skiffle Blues" (1946) by Dan Burley & His Skiffle Boys. It was used by Ma Rainey (1886╨1939) to describe her repertoire to rural audiences. The term skiffle disappeared from American music in the 1940.
