Thornbury Swing Band

Thornbury Swing Band plays swing jazz instrumental and vocal numbers from the 1930s right up to modern times – with a line up of saxophones, trombones, trumpets, male and female vocalists, and supported by a rhythm section of bass, guitar, keyboard and drums.
Thornbury Swing Band was formed in 2008 by Richard Gulliver, a local saxophone and clarinet player. ​Sadly, Richard passed away in early 2010 but the band proudly plays on in his memory, now under the musical direction of Chris White-Horne.
None of our band members receives any income for performing. Money raised by the band is donated to good causes in the local area. We only retain a small amount of income to buy music so we can extend the range of our performance.
