About Lonnie Donegan
Artist Biography
Donegan was the father of the British skiffle movement of the '50s and early '60s. He combined jugband music, New Orleans jazz, country, folk, and blues in a driving, highly rhythmic style that relied strictly on acoustic instruments including banjo, washboard, and washtub bass. Donegan's sound--sort of a parallel universe version of early rock & roll--was one of the primary influences on the Beatles and other British Invasion acts.
