Skiffle came from 1920's America where a "Skiffle
Party" or "Rent Party" was held to
raise money to pay the rent. People turned up with
their own food, drink and home made improvised instruments
and paid a small fee to get in. The skiffle bands
music they played was an informal mixture of blues,
folk, gospel, and jazz and the popular music of
the time. It caught on like wildfire in fifties
Britain due to its folksy simplicity, the inexpensive
instruments and the fact that a reasonable sound
could be achieved with little musical experience.
It was arguably the most influential UK musical
trend of all time and its main contributor was of
course, Lonnie Donegan. Skiffle bands play with
a great sense of fun and the musical element is
only part of the overall experience. These bands
definitely give the audience a feel-good experience.
So, if you want a special style of music that will
undoubtedly bring a smile to everyones face, you
should consider the hire of a live skiffle band.

If you've ever seen the Doghouse Skiffle Band
"live" you'll know what an exciting,
fun and frolicsome experience it is. Following
on from their success in the National Busking
Finals ten years ago, they've established themselves
as an act that's bound to get your toes tapping
and your belly laughing. If you don't enjoy this
band, you need medical help.

| Fast becoming the nation's alternative sex symbols,
the skifflers provide a musical monologue
of madness, memories and mayhem. They have
a very high 'embarrassment threshold' and
watching these three, you realize there's
a careers officer somewhere with a weird sense
of humour! They're modern - in the style of
a few years ago, and you need a sense of humour
implant if you fail to enjoy their skiffling
shindig. |

Unbend your mind, climb aboard the Skiffle Express,
and prepare yourself for some irresistibly infectious,
barking mad, musical mayhem. These former inhabitants
of the Planet earth make old ladies gasp, dogs
howl, and mothers haul their toddlers indoors.
This is definitely not a job for a grown up! Some
people are born crazy, some people achieve craziness,
and others have craziness thrust upon them. Their
great big ball of fun is perfect for garden parties
and receptions where informality is the order
of the day and where you want to offer your guests
'something different'.
