MtheGM.
Lonnie Donnegan, was the Banjo player with Chris Barbers Band, this band also featured a "Skiffle" Group, with Chris, playing the Double bass instead of his usual Trombone.
Ken Colyers Skiffle group featured Ken himself I believe on Guitar and Vocals.
Certainly the Skiffle Boom was a Bridging Point between jazz and Folk in the mid to late 50's
