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.
