Talk:List of leaders of British dance bands

Cigarette cards
The 1936 Lambert and Butler cigarette cards series of dance band leaders seems to be a good guide to who was most significant in their heyday:
 * Ambrose
 * Billy Cotton
 * Roy Fox
 * Geraldo
 * Carroll Gibbons
 * Nat Gonella
 * Henry Hall
 * Jack Hylton
 * Jack Jackson
 * Charlie Kunz
 * Sydney Kyte
 * Brian Lawrance
 * Syd Lipton
 * Joe Loss
 * Ray Noble
 * Jack Payne
 * Lou Preager
 * Harry Roy
 * Debroy Somers
 * Lew Stone
 * Maurice Winnick

Of these, Sydney Kyte and Brian Lawrance are the only names who currently lack WP articles. NB. The cards also included a few Americans: Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Rudy Vallee and Paul Whiteman.—TrottieTrue (talk) 03:10, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
