| | "Skiffle was New Orleans jazz and jug band music", and the purist poll-winning traditional jazz-band leader Ken Colyer is said to have "discovered" skiffle on a field trip to New Orleans in 1952, when he was collecting folklore and material from the birthplace of jazz. | | | Skiffle clubs opened and closed, creating a popular coffee-bar mentality, and youngsters like John Lennon and Paul McCartney, thrilled to the marrow by singers like Presley and Chuck Berry, were nevertheless heavily influenced by skiffle. | | | Local musicians in Memphis might not know that their skiffle bands would be called spasm bands in New Orleans, but everyone knew what a jug band was. |

| | Even as Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and the rest were hammering and whooping out their urgent new music in the USA of the 1950s, a different form of popular music was emerging on the other side of the Atlantic which was far more modest, but arguably just as important. | | | He would swap his trumpet for guitar during the skiffle interval, but his approach to singing the material was less traditional. | | | Much of the skiffle repertoire was drawn from folk/blues recordings, in particular the works of The Carter Family, Leadbelly and folk balladeer Woody Guthrie, but credits were often hazy at best. |

| | Skiffle, a do-it-yourself music style that pre-dated punk by more than 20 years, became a major craze, spawning other hit acts — Chas McDevitt and Nancy Whiskey, most famously — and encouraging hundreds of teenagers to form bedroom bands and hold garage rehearsals. | | | Suffice it to say that without Donegan's "Rock Island Line", it is highly unlikely that the greatest band of all would ever have emerged, because it was skiffle, rather than rock, that first inspired Lennon and McCartney to plot their musical adventure. | | | Donegan brought to English ears a music that had little of the raw vitality of rock 'n' roll, but blended folk and blues and jazz in a fashion that certainly prepared listeners on this side of the Atlantic for the onslaught of Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, in the years that followed. |
