In England the best player for many years has been Rob in the Please Yerself Skiffle Band. Although they are post ironic in their take on skiffle. The first time I saw them they went straight from Kitty Wells 'I Want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart' to Tom Robinson's 'Grey Cortina'. Eclectic isn't the word.

Rob, I have noticed, uses washing line; but binds his hand with insulation tape of some kind.
