   About The Borderers

Multi-Award winning Scottish / Irish / Australian band The BordererS formed in 1994 and have released 8 albums, 4 EP's, 2 kids albums and been included on 17 compilation albums all around the world.

The Borderers became a band by accident when Jim was holidaying in Australia in 1993 as part of a round world trip. "I was just visiting South Australia to visit a friend when I got invited to a recording studio to hear this band. I loved their sound so much that I eventually co-produced the album, got 5 of my songs on it and married the lead singer".

Lead singer, Alex, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and came to Australia in 1987 and lists Annie Lennox and Joni Mitchell as major influences. Jim was born in Glasgow, Scotland and arrived in Australia on Christmas Eve 1993 and is influenced musically by AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Status Quo and Talking Heads.

The Borderers pride themselves on their independent spirit – running their own indie record label – Celtic Records – which to date has released eight Borderers cds and a number of DVDs which have combined sales of in excess of 60,000 units. This indie approach paid off recently when the band won the Independent Music Award in the US for "Sinner and The Saint" in the Gospel Music category. The song now goes out to 11 million people via Borders Bookstores and eMusic.com

The Borderers are well known performers at many of the world's top music festivals having played Byron Bay Blues & Roots, Port Fairy Folk, Edinburgh and Womad Festivals in Australia and the UK – as well as touring Canada and the USA. They've also supported artists including Tom Jones, The Proclaimers, The Chieftans and Shane McGowan from The Pogues.

What sets The BordererS apart from other bands is their ability to get the whole audience involved.

........."You must be dead if you're not seen dancing at a BordererS gig".........Jamie McKew - Port Fairy Festival Director ( The biggest Folk / Roots festival in Australia )

Voted most popular act by the public at many festivals. Here's what others have to say:

........"You've got a great band there"........... Phillip Noyce - Aussie / Hollywood Film Director.

........."The rhythm guitarist is so handsome"......... Jim's Mum

Jim & Alex Voted Best World Music Act At the Musicoz Awards!

Ha! Thought so Alex. Yeah, the band I'm in (Kineman Karma) recorded our 7 track demo CD there. Brett came and spent a day or two with us at Camp Coorong. The photo on my profile slideshow (in camo singlet) is me sitting at Brett's desk! That recording experience inspired me to buy Pro-Tools and Mbox2 for myself (Love it!)
