Music in Britain

Music is fundamental to people's lives in Britain. A wide variety of music is broadcast through hundreds of national and local radio stations: orchestral, choral, opera, jazz, folk, rock and pop music. Within Britain, consumers buy more than 200 million albums and 85 million singles each year.

Pop music is the most popular musical genre but audiences also appreciate classical music, opera, jazz and other forms. Musical tastes are no longer determined by age groups. Indeed many contemporary performers enjoy careers of 20, 30 or more years.

A great deal of the musical activity in Britain is organized at local levels, through enthusiasts in villages, towns and city communities. The regions maintain their own styles of music - the Welsh male-voice choir remains well supported as ever; the bagpipes are forever associated with Scotland; and brass bands are beloved in England's northern towns. In all regions, folk music has a following and there has been an increasing interest in groups singing in Gaelic, Welsh and other languages.

Pop music is by far the most popular form of music, and British creativity and originality in producing new groups and new styles leads the world. Thanks to pop music, the music industry is Britain's third biggest earner; bigger than many significant industries including shipbuilding and chemicals.

Britain is also a European leader in the dance music scene. Rap and reggae increasingly influence British pop, rock and dance styles.
