Will asks for "examples of West Gallery music that still exist in Britain, especially ones I could hear on the net?"

http://www.wgma.org.uk/ (sorry I can't get the Blue Clicky thing to work) will show you that there's quite a number of active West Gallery choirs (or "quires" as they prefer to spell it) around in England today. That website may lead you to some sound-clips or examples.
