Banjos Tea Chests Thimbles & Washboards - The Great UK Skiffle Boom 2CD

Seventy years after the event, it's impossible to convey just how big an impact Skiffle had upon the teenage youth of a post-war UK.
It was an almost exclusively British phenomenon, propelled by simplicity; a cheap, bottom-of-the-range banjo or acoustic guitar; a stand-up tea chest bass; a washboard; a handful of thimbles; and a kazoo, from Woolworths (optional).
It's no exaggeration to say that Lonnie Donegan's frantic Rock Island Line, which made the charts in January 1956, changed everything.
It threw the rule book out of the window.
Following Lonnie's breakthrough, along came The Vipers, Chas McDevitt & Nancy Whiskey, Johnny Duncan, Dickie Bishop, Alexis Korner & Cyril Davies, and dozens more.
This double disc collection features all the singers, strummers and scratchers at the forefront of the UK Skiffle Boom - more than 40 different artists are featured, mixing genre's biggest hits with almost-forgotten rarities.
