I disagree that (Y)"our lot" actually got the revival started.

It was mainly skiffle that got "the revival" started, Ken Colyer, Tony Donegan etc.
Alan Lomax was in the UK at the time and formed Alan Lomax and The Ramblers featuring skiffle and folk songs. Group members included Lomax, Brian Daly (I think), Shirley Collins, Clarinettist Bruce Turner and Bassist Jim Bray from the Humphrey Lyttelton band and Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl. I believe this group was only a recording group. I don't think they performed live.
The popular appeal of skiffle increased the interest in the UK of American blues and folk music. From this interest a few people discovered British folk and decided that they preferred that. Unfortunately some of them also lost their sense of humour and started taking themselves too seriously.
