Skiffle music is a type of folk music with a jazz and blues influence, usually using homemade or improvised instruments such as the washboard, tea-chest bass, kazoo, cigar-box fiddle, or a comb and paper, and so forth. Skiffle and jug band music are closely related. Skiffle first became popular in the early 1900s in the US, starting in New Orleans. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' states that ''skiffle'' was a term used for ''rent party''.
