G & S[edit]

Don't you think that the music from Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas should be included here? This was very popular, with high volumes of sheet music sales and was also one of the country's first great musical exports, selling very well in the USA?

Between the end of this article and the beginning of the next, there is a major musical form omitted: Big bands: Harry Roy, Billy Cotton, Carroll Gibbons, Jack Payne, Jack Hylton, Henry Hall and many other British bands were hugely popular. And yet, no mention. Ogg 19:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have just found a suitable, but rather short relevant article: British dance band. It should be slotted in here. Ogg 19:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody has snatched up the gauntlet, so I have done it myself. Ogg 09:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other forms[edit]

I think this article usefully deals with some issues in trying to organise British music, perhaps the following needs to be added by anyone who can, Brass bands, choral societies, dance bands. Also traditional ballads predated broadside ballads. I will modify that section when I get time if no one objects.--Sabrebd (talk) 21:28, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
