Kick 'n' Rush Comedy Skiffle Band formed in 1980, but the origins
of the band began to take shape much earlier under the name of Maun
Valley Ramblers during the 60's followed by The Shambles in
the 70's.
Their music consists of Skiffle, Comedy, Folk and Rock 'n' Roll with their
influences stretching from Lonnie Donnegan and Woody Guthrie through to
the Beatles.
What is Skiffle?
Skiffle was developed in the mid 1950's and is a blend of folk songs
with an up tempo Jazz and Rock rythm. The music is happy and spontaneous
and best of all it can be played on improvised instruments such
as the wash board and tea chest bass (as used by Kick 'n' Rush).
This gave the working class a chance to start their own bands and
indeed Skiffle groups were formed in every town and village across
Britain. At the height of the craze there where probably more people
playing Skiffle music than listening to it!
Today, refusing to accept new musical technology Kick 'n' Rush are
still performing the greats in their own unique style some 40 years
after Skiffle's hey day. |
