I wish they'd resurrect Brian Kay's Light Programme, there was some really good stuff. I've never understood what makes something 'light', surely pieces such as Elgar's Bavarian Dances and the Nursery Suite would fit, as would a lot of Malcolm Arnold?
There was a wonderful 5 CD box set called 'The Best of British Light Music' which was only an amazing £4.99. It's still around but rather more expensive.
I discovered a lovely piece - Maurice Johnstone - Tarn Hows. Give it a listen if it's available somewhere.
