Traditions, Music
Britain is more famous for
pop music than it is for classical composers or jazz musicians. Names such as
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, are known world wide but little do people know of
our other musicians not in the pop world.
Music we listen to today. In Britain, most youths listen to punk, garage, house, rock, pop and R&B.
Folk songs, sea shanties and
children's rhymes are an integral part of Britain's heritage, performed
throughout the land from the Last Night of the Proms to the local school and
pub. Queen Elizabeth I toured the country during her royal progresses,
often observing her subjects performing country or maypole dances with
traditional music or songs. There are often local stories about where she
stayed.
