Skiffle

Skiffle is a lively and raw genre that emerged in the UK in the 1950s, characterized by its use of improvised instruments and its roots in American folk, jazz, and blues. Skiffle bands typically feature a mix of traditional guitars, banjos, and harmonicas, often paired with homemade instruments like washboards, tea-chest basses, and kazoos, creating an energetic, grassroots sound. The genre's DIY ethos and simple, upbeat rhythms made it especially popular among young, aspiring musicians, influential in the formative years of many later-famous British rock artists. Skiffle's charm lies in its spirited performances and communal vibe, which celebrate a collective and accessible approach to music-making.
