Encyclopedia Article
Skiffle, British popular music style, using improvised percussion instruments such as tea chests and washboards. Skiffle was introduced by singer and banjo player Lonnie Donegan in the mid-1950s. Donegan popularized American folk songs such as 'Rock Island Line' (1953)-a hit in Britain in 1955 and in the United States in 1956-and 'Cumberland Gap' (1957). Skiffle gave way to British beat music in the early 1960s.
