"Capturing the Vibrant History and Musical Legacy of Knebworth" Step back in time to the iconic Oasis concert held at Knebworth House on August 10th, 1996. These aerial pictures transport us to a momentous event that forever etched its mark in music history. Delve even further into the past, and we discover a brass band performing in 1910, showcasing the rich cultural heritage that has long been associated with this enchanting place. In 1981, American singer Sarah Vaughan graced the Capital Radio Jazz Festival at Knebworth, mesmerizing audiences with her soulful voice. The festival became synonymous with world-class jazz performances against the backdrop of this picturesque Hertfordshire town. As we explore Woolmer Green, we stumble upon a woodcarver's shop - a testament to traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression that thrives within these quaint surroundings. Nearby lies The Garden Model Village - an idyllic escape where imagination comes alive through intricate miniature landscapes. Dating back to 1894, Knebworth House stands as an architectural marvel whose creator remains unknown. Its grandeur continues to captivate visitors from around the globe who flock here for its timeless beauty and historical significance. Returning once more to Woolmer Green, we witness Benny Goodman's unforgettable performance at the Capital Radio Jazz Festival in 1982. His mastery of swing music resonated throughout Knebworth, leaving an indelible impression on all fortunate enough to be present. The following year saw Illinois Jacquet join forces with Sarah Vaughan at the same jazz festival – their harmonious melodies echoing through Hertfordshire's countryside and creating everlasting memories for those lucky enough to attend. Barbara Thompson took center stage during July of 1981 when she performed at Knebworth Jazz Festival. Her musical prowess enchanted audiences while Brian O'Connor captured her essence through his artistry behind the lens.
