The Western Brothers were an English music hall and radio act, who were popular from the 1930s to the late 1950s, performing self-written songs which lampooned the upper classes. Kenneth Alfred Western (10 September 1899 - 24 January 1963) and (Ernest) George Western (23 July 1895 - 16 August 1969) were, in reality, second cousins rather than brothers. They first broadcast as the Perfectly Polite Pair in the 1920s, and there was then a long break before they returned as the Western Brothers.
Their songs included "We're Frightfully BBC" and "Keeping Up the Old Traditions".
