Skiffle is a DIY, high-energy music genre blending folk, blues, and jazz, originating in 1920s America but surging in 1950s Britain. Popularized by Lonnie Donegan, it used inexpensive or homemade instruments like washboards and tea-chest bases, sparking a youth music craze that laid the foundation for the British Invasion and rock ‘n’ roll.
Originating as a form in the United States in the first half of the 20th century, it became extremely popular in the United Kingdom in the 1950s, where it was played by such artists as Lonnie Donegan, the Vipers Skiffle Group, Ken Colyer, and Chas McDevitt.
