Humour
Whilst the Jazz and Swing bands dominated the music scene between 1920 and the 1940s, musical humour was an altogether different style of music that had a passionate following nonetheless.
In fact, it was this humorous musical entertainment that launched the careers of truly great performers like George Formby and of course Noel Coward. Incorporating comedic lyrics with nostalgic ditties, the popularity of classic humour grew rapidly and has somewhat of a cult following.
