These exciting Celtic Rock performers never stand still. Energetic, frenetic, fun, entertaining ... I'm looking forward to this one. Multi-Award winning Scottish / Irish / Australian band The BordererS formed in 1994 and have released 7 albums, 4 EP's, 2 kids albums and included on 14 compilation albums all around the world.
Alex, the female lead singer was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and came to Australia in 1987. Her influences are Joni Mitchell & Annie Lennox. Jim Paterson was born in Glasgow, Scotland and arrived in Australia on Xmas Eve 1993. His influences are AC/DC ( The band not the lifestyle ) Thin Lizzy, Status Quo & Talking Heads. The BordererS have sold 60,000 CD's & DVD's to date.
What sets the BordererS apart from other bands is their ability to get the whole audience involved.
The BordererS have played at Womad Festivals in Australia & UK, the Edinburgh Festival, toured Canada & USA and have supported Tom Jones, The Proclaimers & The Chieftains in Glasgow. The band have also supported Shane McGowan from "The Pogues", but that was just to get him to the stage.
