Skiffle

Skiffle is a lively, DIY music genre that emerged in the UK during the 1950s, characterized by its use of homemade or improvised instruments like washboards, tea-chest basses, and acoustic guitars. Rooted in American folk, jazz, and blues, skiffle captured the youthful spirit with its energetic rhythms and simple chords, igniting a musical revolution that inspired future rock legends, including The Beatles. Its grassroots appeal and emphasis on creativity laid the groundwork for the burgeoning British rock and pop scenes.
