 TWINWOOD
FESTIVALincorporating The Glenn Miller Festival Of Swing, Jazz & Jive 2008 AUGUST 23rd, 24th & 25th 2008 (Bank-Holiday weekend) In its seventh year, this nostalgic, annual Swing, Jazz & Jive music festival is now regarded by many as by far THE BEST RETRO MUSIC FESTIVAL IN THE COUNTRY! Word has spread globally, and many of our regular visitors come back each year from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and from all over Europe to attend the Twinwood Festival. It is held at the stunning location of RAF Twinwood Airfield and Twinwood Arena, near Bedford, where Glenn Miller took his last flight. The emphasis is on nonstop, high quality music from many top Orchestras and artistes performing the great hits from the big band, swing and Jive era, and for 2008 will also feature an additional brand new ‘50s stage which will add a new dimension to the festival, whilst not taking anything away from what has earned the festival its reputation.
