Dance bands and dance halls in Greenock, 1945-55 [Elektronische Daten] [Raymond A. Thomson] The Americanisation of British popular culture has been the subject of intensive study and debate. Most of this, however, has had a national focus. It is the purpose of this article to examine aspects of a popular culture at a local level in order to discover the extent to which people were, or felt themselves to be, dominated by America. The history of popular culture is the history of the little people, how they passed their time and recreated themselves. Discoveries made here should cast illumination on the more global claims made by social historians.
