Moving On Skiffle is the 44th studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released on 10 March 2023 by Exile Productions through Virgin Music (successor of Caroline Distribution). The album is Van Morrison's second in the Skiffle genre after his 2000 live album The Skiffle Sessions – Live in Belfast 1998, which saw Morrison collaborate with Lonnie Donegan and Chris Barber. Another skiffle pioneer, Chas McDevitt, was present during the recording sessions for Moving On Skiffle.
AllMusic found Moving On Skiffle "relaxed and unhurried" and an "easy record to enjoy." The Financial Times welcomed Morrison's return to the music of his youth (in contrast to the "pub-bore lectures" of his previous two albums) and found that "the music has a richer quality than the spindly tenacity of 1950s skiffle." Uncut likewise welcomed Morrison's "back to basics" approach following "two exhausting albums of political ranting", finding the album "richer and more sophisticated" than The Skiffle Sessions but with "a lightness of touch that recalls Bruce Springsteen's delightful 2006 album of Pete Seeger reinterpretations, We Shall Overcome." The Irish Times praised Dave Keary's guitar and Morrison's voice, concluding "It's good to hear him happy."
