Skiffle is a musical style known for its relaxed, No 8 wire attitude, and is often credited with having paved the way for rock and roll in the UK in the 1950s.
Broadly speaking, it's a style of folk music, played with often improvised instruments.
But it's the character of skiffle, rather than the tea chest bass, spoons and lagerfone, that marks the Whanganui band called Hot Potato.
The semi-acoustic five-piece good-time band plays a variety of music from rock and pop to country and blues, in fact anything able to be given the skiffle treatment. There's Kerry, Steve, Colin, Paul and Geoff.
Geoff Follett, keyboardist and vocalist, says skiffle music started in the 1920s with makeshift instruments as well as traditional piano and guitar.
