G All the hits, all the greatest performances, all the forgotten gems! G Includes the American jazz and folk artists who influenced Skiffle... and some Skifflers from Europe... plus, of course, the UK's finest! G Skiffle wasn't rock 'n' roll, but it influenced a generation of '60s British beat artists. The Beatles, the Who, the Kinks, Jimmy Page, and many more began in Skiffle groups. G Contains a complete previously unissued LP by The Eden Skiffle Group. G This collection was produced exclusively for BEAR FAMILY by Ulf Krüger. INFORMATION This six-CD set is a full, long overdue anthology of the music and musicians who created Skiffle. From the African American fo- rebears of the 1920s and '30s like The Memphis Jug Band and Lead Belly to the fountainhead of Skiffle in the UK, Ken Colyer, this collection includes anthems like Down By The Riverside and Midnight Special. And then came Lonnie Donegan! The undis- puted King of Skiffle is represented by hits like Cumberland Gap, Rock Island Line, Puttin' On The Style, and Gamblin' Man as well as lesser known songs like Light From The Lighthouse and The Goldrush Is Over.

Mélanie Seteun 115 Lonnie Donegan, « Rock Island Line » et la corne d’abondance par Jeremy Price université de Poitiers Résumé : Il est généralement admis que la reprise de « Rock Island Line » en 1954 par l’Écossais Lonnie Donegan est un des enregistrements britanniques les plus influents de tous les temps. En effet, en plus d’être un des singles les plus populaires et les plus vendus en Grande Bretagne avant l’avènement des Beatles, cette chanson lance le skiffle craze. Cet engouement pour le skiffle, souvent considéré comme le premier mouvement pop britannique, constitue une influence fondamentale pour toute une génération de musiciens anglais qui pratiquent le genre à leurs débuts. Or, ce mouvement est souvent oublié aujourd’hui ; sans doute parce qu’il se détache en précurseur, une décennie avant la révolution de la pop anglaise qui démarre dans les années 1960.

  • Autobiog Intro
    The Best Of Times Cheers Acknowledgements Throughout the writing of this story of my life and the times in which I have lived I have made considerable use of Internet references, these web address- es I have listed at the end of the story. I realise that references are transitory and the addresses and target locations may well not exist for long into the future. Technology is changing at an increasing rate year by year, however it is the best I can do. Many are from ‘Wikipedia’ which has been very useful particularly with regard to historical events. My choice of references has been blatantly favourable to my own political and ethical beliefs, I make no apology for this. Because of the transitory nature of technology I am creating this as a printed paper document, I intend to include an electronic version as a ‘pdf’ file, a document standard which I hope may have some chance of being future proof. I realise that the media (a compact disc) this ‘pdf’ file is recorded on stands little chance of surviving as a standard far into the future, however some admirable person may be around to upgrade the media in my absence - my thanks to that person. 2 Contents Dedication 4 1 Not in my Day 5 2 The First Ten Years The 1940’s 11 3 Ten Years of Change The 1950’s 25 4 From Two to Five The 1960’s 47 5 Work and Family Life The 1970’s 73 6 Times are Changing The 1980’s 105 7 Towards a New Millennium The 1990’s 125 8 Retirement The 2000’s 149 9 Odds ‘N’ Endings 175 10 References 185 3 Dedication It would seem the height of arrogance for an ordinary chap like me who has absolutely no claim to fame to write what is effectively an autobiography, however this autobiography has been written with a specific audience in mind - my great grandchildren and their offspring.

  • MINUTES of the 84Th MEETING of AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD
    MINUTES OF THE 102nd MEETING OF AYNHO HISTORY SOCIETY HELD AT THE VILLAGE HALL, AYNHO ON WEDNESDAY 31st JANUARY 2018 Present: - Keith McClellan – Acting Chairman Peter Cole – Secretary Keith said that Ted Sutton sent his apologies but before becoming Chairman he already had a commitment for this evening. He outlined plans for the next three months, starting with a talk on Wednesday 28th February by the Revd, Simon Dommett on the role and place of “Mumming” in English folk history, including references to our local traditions. He introduced Peter to talk about The Life and Music of Chris Barber and his Jazz Bands Peter said that Donald Christopher Barber was born on 17th April 1930. So he is 87years old, and he is still going strong. Educated at St Paul’s School in London he started work as a trainee actuary, but he soon tired of this and supported by his parents he went to the Guildhall of Music to study the trombone and double bass. He was a great follower of jazz from the black American exponents of New Orleans, and he collected a lot of their records. With fellow musicians he began to play Dixieland jazz. By April 1953 he was in a group called Ken Colyer’s Jazzmen. In addition to Ken on trumpet & Chris on trombone, this consisted of Monty Sunshine on clarinet, Lonnie Donegan on banjo, Jim Bray on double bass & Ron Bowden on drums. During the band’s first year there were arguments, largely caused by Ken’s drink problems, plus his complete inability to explain how he wanted the other bandsmen to play.

Information derived from the published and unpublished work of others has been acknowledged in the text and references are given in the list of sources. Signed: Tom Hennessy Date: 2 Abstract The emergence of folk, jazz, blues, skiffle, rock n roll and R&B scenes in the post-war period of 1945 – 1964 was a major development in Anglophonic music culture. Key individuals operating within these scenes frequently pursued authenticity, or framed their musical activities as “authentic” – that is as cultural produce that was supposedly “true” to a certain way of life, or that offered something “real” in the face of the commercial culture of the mainstream. While this “authenticism” was productive in many respects it also represents a problem for the cultural historian. This thesis tackles this problem by first diagnosing the origins, nature and effects of authenticism, and then by undertaking three new historical studies through which a differently inflected history of this remarkable phase of popular music can be drawn.
