Skiffle is a type of popular music with jazz blues folk and roots influences usually using homemade or improvised instruments. Originating as a term in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century it became popular again in the UK in the 1950s where it was mainly associated with musician Lonnie Donegan and played a major part in beginning the careers of later eminent jazz pop blues folk and rock musicians.
