OOOOOOOO

JOols

Holland
Pianist Jools Holland is also known as a media celebrity for his TV appearances
which include his own BBC show Later With Jools Holland, The Tube and the

Chris Evans show Don't Forget Your Toothbrush..... but these basically stem from

Jools" instinctive love of music.
Born in 1958, Jools' talent became obvious at an early age. He learned to play
Boogie Woogie by ear at the age of eight taught by his uncle and during his teens

played in pubs and clubs around South London. At fifteen he met up with Chris
Difford and Glenn Tilbrook and together they formed the brilliantly successful
Squeeze.

Jools" maybe infamous start in TV came with his hosting Channel 4's award winning
series The Tube, since which he has hosted Juke Box Jury for BBC2, written and
starred in Walking to New Orleans, Mister Roadrunner and The Groovy Fellas.

He took time out in 1988/89 to go to the States and co-host NBC's Sunday Night.
Back in the UK in 1990 he left Squeeze to concentrate on his own band and

brand of music and nowadays his Rhythm and Blues Band are on tour on an
almost round the year basis.

Jools has recorded and performed with many legendary artists and is respected

by his peers as a talented musician and songwriter as well as a writer of TV and
film themes and an articulate interviewer. His recordings include ‘A World Of His
Own’, ‘A Full Complement’, ‘A to Z Of The Piano’, ‘Solo Piano’ and 'Live
Performance’.

At present Jools is mixing his next Rhythm & Blues album which will be out in

September and is due to be followed by ‘Solo Piano II', early in the New Year;
both albums will feature original tracks by Jools.

George

Abbot Swing Band
1996 is a special year for George Abbot Swing Band, the celebration of it’s fifth
anniversary. The idea to form a band came in 1991 as a development of the
extra-curricular music activities and to compliment the school orchestra. The players
range in age from 13-18 years. The youngest of the musicians of the band in

1991 are the leaders of the sections today and about to leave school to take up
placements in further education. So the Swing Band has come full circle. We

celebrated our anniversary in May by launching the Friends of Swing Band
association and entertaining families and friends to an evening concert which

raised the magnificent sum of £1,000 and highlighted the great support given to
the band by the players, their families and the school PTA.
Since the early days, the band has been keen to perform in public. In addition to
the two school music concerts each year the band has played for local school

fetes, for lunch time shoppers outside Holy Trinity

Church, at charity functions for
the Chest, Heart and Stroke foundation and for the National Children’s’ Home
and even to serenade a Guildford resident on her eightieth birthday. The concert
for the Guildford Festival is an exciting climax to a very busy season.
The repertoire has developed over the years to include the traditional swing of
Glenn Miller, jazz and blues numbers, gospel arrangements and more up to date
songs and movie themes. The concert tonight includes all of these styles and
allows the individual sections within the band to display the musical talent of the

players. Many of our players have gone on to play in County music groups and
some have achieved places at National level with the Youth Orchestra and the
Jazz Orchestra.
It is always hard for a school band to lose it's most experienced players. The
twelve students who are leaving this year have lead the band by example, not
only by playing so well, but by being committed and enthusiastic members of the
group. The players who are now waiting in the wings to take over leading the
sections and encouraging the younger players have had excellent training and

are looking forward to the challenges of the next five years.

Guildford Borough Council would like to acknowledge the help and support of
Guildford Jazz & Blues Club in setting up this concert.

Guildford

Jazz & Blues Club
The Club is a non-profit making organisation whose aim is to bring different

types of jazz and blues to Guildford's new Electric Theatre. We plan to hold concerts
every two months, on a Thursday evening, featuring nationally known jazz and
blues musicians as well as local bands. In the long term we plan to organise jazz

workshops for young people. The first concert will be held on 30 January 1997.
We are reliant upon donations from individuals or companies to put the club on

a firm financial footing. Any donations, small or large will be very gratefully received
and names will be acknowledged in our programmes. If you wish to be put on
our mailing list please complete the form below.

Guildford

Philharmonic Orchestra
The Guildford Philharmonic, a professional orchestra of 75 players, is at the heart of music-

making in the south east, with a huge repertoire extending from the 17th century to the
present day. Its main concert season runs from September to May in two venues: The Civic

Hall, Guildford, and Guildford Cathedral; as well as this it gives concerts throughout London
and the south of England in a number of venues including Kenwood Park, Royal Festival

Hall, King's College Cambridge, St George's Chapel Windsor, and the cathedrals of
Winchester, Chichester and Canterbury.
As well as the more mainstream orchestral concerts, the orchestra is involved in a wide
range of educational projects, both in schools and concert halls, involving young composers,
instrumentalists and singers.

The young Chinese conductor En Shao was appointed Principal Conductor in 1995, following

in the illustrious footsteps of Crossley Clitheroe (who founded the orchestra in 1944), Vernon
Handley, Sir Charles Groves and Sir Alexander Gibson. With En Shao, the orchestra continues
its work of attracting new audiences for all types of classical music, and blending the traditional

and familiar with the new and challenging.
The Orchestra is funded and promoted by Guildford Borough, with assistance from the
South East Arts Board, South East Music Trust, The Musicians’ Union and the Philharmonic
Society. It is grateful to corporate sponsors, both local and national, and looks forward to
many more such mutually beneficial relationships in the future.

Guildford

Philharmonic Choir
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was formed by Guildford Borough in order to perform

the major choral repertoire with the Philharmonic Orchestra. The choir’s output is broadranging from Baroque to the modern day, and two twentieth century works have been
recorded - Gerald Finzi's Intimations of Immortality with the Guildford Philharmonic and
Patrick Hadley's The Trees So High with the Philharmonia Orchestra, both recordings

conducted by Vernon Handley.
In 1988 the Guildford Philharmonic Choir visited Paris and in 1990 established an exchange
with the Freiburger BachChor (Guildford is twinned with Freiburg) with a performance of
The Messiah in Freiburg Munster. In November 1993 the combined forces gave a performance
