Our Take

The Essential Collection - Skifflein British English, a compilation of some of the most iconic songs from the UK's skiffle scene, is a delightful romp through a forgotten era of music. With tracks from legends like Lonnie Donegan and Ken Colyer, this album is a must-listen for anyone interested in the roots of British rock and roll.

The infectious energy of skiffle is on full display here, with its blend of folk, blues, and jazz creating a sound that is irresistibly catchy. From the foot-stomping rhythms to the twangy guitars, each song on this collection is a true gem that showcases the raw talent and passion of the artists who helped shape the British music landscape.

But what truly sets this album apart is the sense of community and camaraderie that permeates each track. Whether it's the tight-knit harmonies of the Vipers Skiffle Group or the rollicking, good-time vibe of the Chris Barber Jazz Band, there's a sense of joy and togetherness that shines through in every note.

So if you're looking for a musical journey back in time, look no further than The Essential Collection - Skifflein British English. It's a rollicking good time that will have you tapping your toes and reaching for your dancing shoes in no time. Grab a cup of tea, put on your best vintage duds, and enjoy a trip down memory lane with this fantastic compilation.
