THE SCRIPT BEGINS!

(Skiffle was slang for rent party (sometimes called a house party) a social occasion where tenants hire a musician or band to play and pass the hat to raise money to pay their rent.)


Start with cut from the interviews talking about skiffle music.

Title -

Skiffle started in the 1920s Chicargo, as a obscure combination of blues, jazz and folk music that had heavy roots in New Orlines jazz music. The music was formed by jug bands that would play improvised blues and jazz songs traveling across the American south. In the early 20th century though they were not called skiffle bands.

first being recorded as skiffle in 1925, the term skiffle was used in  the name of Jimmy O'Bryant and his Chicago Skifflers.

Great!

Skiffle documentary day 1

Today after visiting an old nabour, my dad thought up an idea, that i fell in love with. A documentary about the 1950s skiffle music scene in Portsmouth. Ray, the nabour was actually the skiffle player, and he was still in contact with some of the original members of his band, this was great. The Portsmouth music scene is all but gone, but not in the players minds.

THIS WILL LOOK MESSY. SORRY.
