Borealis: the band members
‘As a Scottish ex-
your CD. I hold a Burns Supper in my home each year and Borealis’s music always features at it.’

Borealis’ repertoire is jam packed full of great songs from many walks of musical life. The band set up involves five vocals, drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and three keyboards.
Songs from the shows, a cappella vocals, jazz standards, folk, easy listening popular songs from the 1920's, 1930’s ... 1950’s ... 1980’s .... and all sorts ...
The band likes to swap round the various instruments they play too ...
Borealis provide their own high quality sound system and music equipment.
The members of the band have been performing together as Borealis for about six years. Their music programme is unashamedly nostalgic and is best thought of as tribute to the ‘three minute song’.
Their wide ranging, diverse repertoire never fails to charm with the emphasis firmly on leaving an audience with a feel good factor, having enjoyed the music of Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter, Robert Burns, Abba, Neil Sedaka and other great songwriters.
Close harmony singing, easy listening jazz, songs from the shows. It’s all there.
Borealis is one of the only five-piece bands in the south of Scotland pushing the
boat out as an all singing, all playing live band going out to audiences with live
music in an easy listening, professional, classy format with a ‘mature’ audience
in mind.
