  • Wonderful!

    The guitar sounds are unique! The rhythm of enthralling.

    Lonnie Donegan is regarded as the ultimate practitioner of skiffle music in the UK. It is a mixture of jazz and country blues.

    That he also has charm and humor, we know.

    Playing skiffle music is quite simple: All you need is a guitar or banjo, and the rhythm section, a washboard. : ))

    You might be addicted to the sound and his engaging performance.

    It was a great pleasure.

    Thank you very much. *****

  • Rory Gallagher at his best at 0:56.....starts and never stops : )

  • 31 Years I'm searching for this song..... In younger years i heard it in the radio und neverone could say me the right name or actor....now, I'm very very happy.......I foujnd it just now and I'm crying....great song.....

  • I remember that ITV was suffering from a strike round about '79 so a lot of videos were played back to back. This was one of them. Love this version, bought the album put together by Adam Faith featuring a legendary assembly of session musicians. Muleskinner Blues and the Skiffle Sessions with Van the man are great too! Must buy the follow up to this album as well which was recorded in America
