Olly Murs to headline GuilFest 2012

Olly Murs, and Jimmy Cliff are the first acts announced for this summer's GuilFest, the three day family friendly festival which offers a multitude of different musical styles with classic and modern acts.

Olly Murs is confirmed for a headline performance at GuilFest on Saturday 14th July.

The young singer-songwriter, musician, TV Presenter and X factor finalist will be showcasing his four number 1 singles 'Please Don't Let Me Go', 'In Case You Didn't Know', 'Heart Skips a Beat' and 'Dance With Me Tonight' alongside other crowd favourites from his two albums in a crowd pleasing set providing a fitting end to Saturday night on the Main Stage at Stoke Park, Guilford in Surrey.

Also confirmed for this year's laid-back festival is Jamaican reggae legend Jimmy Cliff who will also be performing on the Main Stage on Saturday. This will be his second appearance at GuilFest, and after his incredibly well received show in 2007. Expect a set of songs from his career which spans half a century including 'You Can Get It If You Really Want', and 'Many Rivers to Cross', and 'Sitting in Limbo', as well as his definitive cover versions of Cat Steven's 'Wild World' and Johnny Nash's 'I Can See Clearly Now' it's guaranteed to be an amazing performance in the sunshine in Guildford.
