THE SKEATLES
The Beatles evolved from The Quarrymen Skiffle Group and The Skeatles take the Fab Four back their roots - performing the songs The Quarrymen didn’t know they they had in them.
Skiffle Beatles, get it? - Now that’s a Revolution!
The Skeatles feature a cream of Skiffolicious talent having fun with The Beatles.
Jamming the back beat in an offbeat band are:
David Thorpe - Guitar, Vocal, Harmonica (Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine / Davey Backyard)
Paul Kean - Teachest Bass (The Bats)
Dan Heatley - Drums (Shane MacGowan and The Popes)
JC Collins - Guitar, Vocal (Cement Garden / The Bends)
Liam Collins - Banjo (Little Paper Planes)
Gregory Shannahan - Washboard (Malarkey Irish band)
David Thorpe has dived so deep into the world Skiffle, that he recently talked with Rod Davis, an original member of The Quarrymen - a guy who was there, the day Paul met John and whom Paul would later replace in the band.
