Brit's, check out your history... the nation who voted for Brexit have been influenced by a Skiffle min-set at a Trad-Jazz concert. Lonnie Donegan was the man who - with Chris Barber, Alexis Korner and others, transformed a dying jazz scene into irresistible British Blues and Rock. A skiffle band called "The Quarrymen" went on to rule the world. This collection documents the path.
