We felt the name aptly linked the bands base with the music style and just happens to remind Mike of where he started. Skiffle was directly derived from an original style of music played by black musicians in the USA in the 20s and 30s. Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers, the Memphis Jug band and the Beale Street Jug Band were among the most well-known. Washboard, kazoo, pan lids, harmonica, corn liquor jugs, fiddles and guitars were used to play country dance blues music with a distinctive humour and excitement. Gary has added some excellent harp style to our repertoire.
People leave our gigs with a smile on their face.
