2. Introduction
Throughout its history, the United Kingdom has been a
major exporter and source of musical innovation in the
modern and contemporary eras, drawing its cultural
basis from the history of the United Kingdom, from
church music, from Western culture and from the
ancient and traditional folk music and instrumentation of
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
In the 20th century, influences from the music of the
United States became most dominant in popular music.
This led to the explosion of the British Invasion, while
subsequent notable movements in British music include
the New Wave, Heavy Metal, Pop and Britpop. The
United Kingdom has one of the world's largest music
industries today, with many British musicians having had
an impact on modern music.
