Annexe Arts presents A Special Fathers Day Gig
Annnexe Arts presents THE BORDERERS who have been electrifying audiences across Australia and the world with their fusion of Celtic rock, zydeco, African, folk, gospel and whatever style of music that happens to take their fancy. Special guest PETER VADIVELOO
THE BORDERERS
With so many rhythms and vibes radiating from the stage, it’s impossible to stay still. Jim and Alex are renowned for their unbelievably high-energy shows and think nothing of performing high kicks on stage and sprinting through the audience encouraging dance marathons.
“To us, music is just a ball of fun, especially when you’re performing your own material. It feels great to come off stage after running for hours, completely soaking with sweat and adrenaline. That’s a great day’s work.”
Their all-ages audiences get inspired too. If they’re not laughing along to a crazy anecdote they’re stomping in time, shouting out lyrics, waving hands in the air or dancing like there’s no tomorrow.
Ever ambitious, they’re branching out now to writing a musical, starting up a side band, pitching their songs to famous artists and performing at intimate house concerts.
Picking highlights from their 20+ year career is like walking through a garden of riches.
They’ve recorded with African, Indian and American soul and gospel singers, performed at Womad in England on the day Princess Diana died, entertained 30,000 people on New Year’s Eve in Melbourne’s Federation Square and 750,000 at Adelaide’s Skyshow, and rocked Byron Bay’s Blues & Roots Festival, Port Fairy’s Folk Festival, and the famous Skagen Festival in Denmark.
Peter Vadiveloo Spiel
Charismatic and entertaining singer/songwriter Peter Vadiveloo plays original songs that make you both think and feel. Combining vocals (huge voice!), guitar and percussion, his songs are variously playful, political and provocative. Peter’s music covers an engaging and eclectic mix of genres including blues, folk, funk, latin, flamenco and cabaret. Peter has been performing nationally and internationally for over 20 years.
Peter’s singer-songwriter show draws upon his vast musical background, and combines his huge opera-trained vocals with guitar and percussion. Peter’s lyrics cover a range of topics. Many songs contain strong social justice comments, others explore human feeling, others are playful and humorous, while others simply just sit on great groove. Audience engagement and entertainment are standout features of his show.
