Traditional music in england?

Question

i know alot of different countrys have their own traditional music, like scotland has their, irenand had irish folk, i also have a friend in japan and they have some traditiona music to them, i was just woundering if england had a traditional music? if so what is it called?

Answer 1

Everybody likes the oldies, here in the north east house is very popular!!!

Answer 2

England has not retained its folk roots to the extent that Scotland and Ireland have.

There is more traditional English folk music to be heard up north i.e. Northumberland/Durham.

Point your search engine to "The Watersons" They have recorded vast amounts of English traditional songs.

Answer 3

Folk music. There are almost certainly some major folk festivals coming up this weekend, Not all the people who enjoy folk music are old buggers like me either!

Answer 4

I wouldn't say we have traditional music, but i'd say Indie is our trademark.

Answer 5

I would have thought it would be Britpop but I suppose that applies to Britain and not just England (no, they are not the same thing.) I think England is becoming well-known for its indie music in 2008, if anything. Punk music and post-punk, also.
