Great song, interesting images.
When my father was leaving Germany at the end of his National Service, a band played this tune especially for him at the docks.

I'd like to know who wrote this touching tune and lyrics!

Ken's club was the 51 Club at 51 Newport Street. . The decor was non existent unless you count dim and dingy. But...oh the music!. Ken's brother Bill would often play skiffle between sets .Setimes the Dave Reynolds band (Who were a Ken tribute band and formed part of Ken's Omega Marching band ) would play.I was in new Orleans a few years ago and went to see the Preservastion Hall Band play . It was astounding to realise that the 51 Club was formed much early than Preservation Hall.

Great playing but I wished it would not go through the pictures so fast. It's a pitty.

One of My first LPs also.
They used to play beneath a Catholic Church somewhere in W.1 area after HUMPH took over at 100 Oxford Street. Who still remembers this basement church club ?? Thanks for posting!

Great washboard. This was my favourite version until I heard The Lonnigans Skiffle Group's version from their album "Beryls Blues". Skiffle lives on! GREAT music!
