That reminds me....Mark Kermode wrote an article about skiffle in the Observer a few weeks ago, in which the Boss (and his quiff) get a mention.

It's quite a long piece, so for the benefit of anyone with a short attention span, this is the relevant paragraph:
"After our moment of streetside fame was broadcast, I got a text message from quiffed songster Richard Hawley, with whom I'd previously compared hair products (he favours Black & White, which I can never wash out) and arcane record rarities. Turns out he shares my love of skiffle, as do his elders and betters. 'My mum thought you were great!' he wrote. 'Some of us still know and still care!' I was so moved, I found myself wiping away a tear and raising a glass to the ghost of Charlie Poole."
