It's not clear that Lennon particularly liked skiffle music, but skiffle music was quite easy to play and could be played with cheap instruments - a typical skiffle band was guitar, soapbox bass (made from a wooden box, a broom handle and some string) and a washboard. Because it was so cheap, many skiffle groups started up in the late 1950s. Lennon's band was one of these.

Before The Beatles were called The Beatles, they were known as The Quarrymen. It originally consisted of just John Lennon and several friends, but George Harrison and Paul McCartney joined later.

To prevent your skiffle board from spinning uncontrollably, ensure that your weight is evenly distributed on both sides of the board when throwing it. Adjust your stance and throwing technique to provide a more balanced flight trajectory.

There was a craze in Britain in the late 1950s, called "skiffle"; amateurs played folk music on homemade instruments, or whatever they could get. Lennon and his friend Peter Shotton started such a group, and named it after their high school (Quarry Bank Grammar School), hoping to get to play at school events. Lennon and another boy played guitar, Shotton played washboard (stroking it for an elementary rhythm), and other friends played banjo, tea-chest bass, and drums. Paul McCartney joined that group the next year, and George Harrison followed later. When skiffle died out, they changed to playing rock-n-roll.

At the time, Paul and John were in a skiffle band called The Quarrymen. An enthusiastic guitarist, George had repeatedly asked to play in the band, but John had always denied him, insisting that he was too young. On one occasion, however, George did sit in for the band's guitarist, who was sick.

In the days of the Quarrymen, Bill Smith played what was called a tea chest bass, quite standard for skiffle groups. Unhappy that Smith performed at only two shows and rarely turned up for rehearsals, Lennon decided that he should be replaced by his friend Len Garry, "borrowing" Smith's bass in the process. When the choice of music changed from skiffle to rock and roll, the group had no bass player until Lennon urged his art college friend, Stu Sutcliffe, to buy a bass and join the band. Sutcliffe's bass playing was rudimentary and he often turned his back to the audience to hide his inadequacy as a musician. When Sutcliffe left the Beatles, Paul McCartney took over the role as the group's bassist.
