	Country A genre of popular music that originated with blues and gospel music in America from the 1920s onwards. Country music typically consists of ballads and dance tunes with simple forms, folk lyrics and harmonies accompanied by string instruments such as acoustic, steel and electric guitars, banjos, fiddles and harmonicas.
	Pop A generalist term covering many disparate styles of music though mainly commercial and accessible and easily danced to. Any DJ claiming to specialise in "pop music" in reality has a very wide repertoire suitable for general-purpose mixed age events
	Glam Glam Rock is a subgenre of rock music that developed in the 1970s and was performed by musicians who wore larger than life costumery, makeup, platform shoes and glitter. Personified by bands such as T-Rex, early David Bowie, The Sweet, Slade, Mud and to some extent Roxy Music.
	Ska / 2-Tone The precursor to the Reggae movement, Ska originated in Jamaica and is characterised by a walking bass line with rhythms on the off beat. In the late 1970s the 2-tone Ska movement in the UK fused Jamaican ska rhythms with faster tempos and a slightly harder edge by bands such as Madness, The Specials, The Beat and The Selecter.
