>> Lonnie Donegan, Tommy Steele, Lita Roza, Winifred Atwell, Red Price, Tony Crombie, Alma Cogan, Bert Weedon, Beryl Bryden and Ray Ellington are part of the colorful line up of musical talent from a wide musical spectrum that stood at the cradle of British Beat. The '50s was an extraordinary decade in the history of British popular music. On the one hand it was still basically a forum for 'light entertainment' as conceived by Tin Pan Alley moguls and broadcast by Aunty BBC. At the same time the post-war sounds of Rhythm 'N' Blues and Rock 'N' Roll were starting to wing their way across the Atlantic and a new generation of British teenagers was restlessly shuffling off the old order and demanding a change of pace. The result was a kaleidoscope of revolutionary good-time looseness in the form of Skiffle. 100 track set with 40 page booklet. <<

I have no familiarity at all with skiffle beyond Lonnie Donegan. This would seem to be an excellent primer.
