I debated whether or not to nominate this as it seems to have indeed existed and may have been known at the time but it may have succumbed to time and being before the Internet, archived sources offline. My searches found nothing particularly aside from here and here (both contain a New Statesman article about what seems to be the author talking about starting this Wikipedia entry, this is the original link written by Becky Hogge briefly mentioning this group) and here (browser, where I found this particularly interesting note). This would've also been a good one to move elsewhere as an orphan, I'm not seeing anything and, unfortunately, this has gone too long without any significant edits.

 * Keep The nomination's search links show books such as Skiffle: The Story of Folk-song with a Jazz Beat; Skiffle: The Definitive Inside Story; Jazz in Britain; &c. which all seem to confirm what we have in the article. The topic is therefore notable and our editing policy is to build upon this content, not to delete it. Andrew D. (talk) 08:48, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously needs improvement, but a number of reliable sources confirm its notability. AusLondonder (talk) 10:03, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article, no doubt, needs a lot of work. However, given the multiple references to the group in print, it seems to be at least somewhat notable in a historical sense even if they had little to no chart success. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 10:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
