Introduction and Artistes
Twinwood Events are proud to present three days of magnificent entertainment at the Twinwood Festival 2008, ranging from the easy listening orchestras of John Miller and Syd Lawrence, to the most energetic dance bands of the rock‘n’roll and jump jive genres. This is by far the best, most adventurous, and most comprehensive line up
that we have had to date, and the careful scheduling between the two stages ensures that whatever your musical tastes are, you will not be disappointed.
