Skiffle band

Marcus Butler knew that, in the 1960s, his father, played in a skiffle band; they usually busked on the streets, but occasionally got gigs. A bloke in a leather jacket — the Ninth Doctor — would sometimes join in with the band, playing spoons. Marcus wrote about this on the Doctor Who? website in early 2005. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

Bobby belonged to a skiffle band. When the Silver Cloak met aboard a Sparrow Lane tour bus, Wilfred Mott asked Bobby to get in touch with them to inquire about a blue police box. (TV: The End of Time)
