Biografía:
Main tag based on greatest number of listeners: Gilbert & Sullivan.
Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836-1911) was born in London and originally trained as a lawyer. He started out by writing humourous poetry and his collaboration with Sullivan gave him the ability to create absurd characters and lyrics.
Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900) was also born in London. He was taught music by his father and continued his training at the Royal Academy of Music and the Leipzig conservatory.

Are trying their hand at a burglary, With weapons grim and gory.
