Description
British Army Music in the Interwar Years: Culture, Performance and Influence
Between the wars, the British Army employed approximately 7,000 full-time bandsmen, making it the largest single employer of professional musicians in the UK. This significant presence had a profound impact on the music industry, both domestically and internationally.
The relationship between army bands, the BBC, and the recording industry was complex and often contentious. Yet, as Major David Hammond reveals through his research using untapped sources and original material, the role of British Army music in the interwar years cannot be overstated.
