Big Swing Showcase

Celebrate Guildford Heritage Open Day with an afternoon of Big Band music on the Guildford Castle Bandstand showcasing two great local bands – ‘Junction 4’ and ‘Rhythm & Groove’. Based on the Hampshire/Surrey border, Junction 4 are a dynamic 18-piece ensemble, brimming with energy and style and performing everything from 1930s swing to modern chart hits including Basie, Caro Emerald, Nirvana and Pharell Williams. Godalming-based Rhythm and Groove are an 18-piece outfit with a wide repertoire ranging from the swing of Benny Goodman to the modern arrangements of Gordon Goodwin, with some Buddy Rich thrown in for those who like high energy tunes. The band is composed mainly of music graduates and professionals, who enjoy making fantastic music together, and sharing their enthusiasm for the music in live performance.

Junction 4 Big Band

Throughout the course of their union, the members of J4 have won over the hearts of music lovers from all walks of life. Performing at a variety of venues and making countless public appearances all the while recording new song versions, this talented big band has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike. Junction 4 was formed in 2011 by ex-military muso and feral trumpeter, David Cunningham, to capture the very best of jazz. Simply put, a great bunch of 18 extremely talented (pro and semi-pro) musicians who enjoy playing big band, swing and jazz music right from the 1930’s to today. "The rep" includes not only some of the greats, firm party favourites and tunes that perhaps don’t get heard too often as they should in big band music. Expect to hear Buddy Rich, Basie, Ellington and Miller, Buble, Pharrell Williams and much, much more.
