Ugly Dog Skiffle Combo

The Ugly Dog Skiffle Combo are an eccentric bunch of musicians from the UK who gather together on a regular basis to play anything that sounds good from the last 100 years on a mix of traditional and home made instruments. Their ever expanding set list covers many styles that exploit the diverse vocals that each member has to offer and the wide range of instruments they play including Tea Chest Bass, Guitar, Fiddle, Banjo, Kazoo, Double Bass, Washboard (of course), Harmonica, Mandolin and stand up drums. Everyone in the band has a say as to what is played and this has resulted in a set list taking in American Civil War and Folk Tunes, Gershwin and Cole Porter, Woodie Guthrie and Leadbelly, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, T-Rex and Queen, Kirsty MaColl and Tracy Ullman, Four Non Blondes and Green Day along with all the classic Lonnie Donegan, Chas McDevitt and Vipers songs you'd expect from a skiffle band. The common thread to all these diverse styles is the enthusiasm and humour that the band the 'full steam ahead', chaotic, entertaining skiffle sound they generate.
The Ugly Dog Skiffle Combo have developed a style all of their own that is somewhere between traditional skiffle, bluegrass and rock 'n' roll but always having a good time. Constantly building a loyal following the band have gone on to make numerous live appearances on BBC Radio Norfolk along with appearances on Anglia TV, Beach Radio, Radio Caroline and also several stage performances. The band have travelled around the country for gigs including a performance at the much-publicised Liverpool Skiffle Conference in 2003, an opening spot for The Pasadena Roof Orchestra and Opening up the 22nd Rockers' Reunion at Reading. They have been booked at gigs and festivals focused on Folk, Jazz, Country, Rock 'n' Roll, Skiffle, Rock and Punk where they have been received equally as enthusiastically.
