A remembrance page dedicated to the musicians who were born in Britain OR worked in Britain during the first half of the twentieth century
For much of the information on this page I am indebted to the 'Memory Lane' magazine in particular contributors Phil Cruise, Barry McCanna, Terry Brown, Theo Morgan, Doug Wilkins, and the journalist the late Chris Hayes. Some dates were found in the pages of British Dance Bands (This England Books) and from the old 20's-to-50's Yahoo discussion group.
