Following the success of last year’s cabaret themed party, the Bordee (meaning "a gathering" in Jeriais) is back and will be a dazzling visual spectacle transforming the Festival Spiegeltent into a captivating wonderland. We invite the ladies and gentlemen of the island to join us (and dress up) for an evening of delightful musical lunacy and retro charm. With performances from Kitty Daisy & Lewis and The Correspondents plus Jersey's own Premiere Band performing Acid Jazz this will be a party to end all parties.
Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are a three-piece band comprising the teenage siblings of the Durham family, whose trademark quiffs and zoot suits give them a stylish originality in the 21st century. Their music is influenced heavily by old-school R&B, swing, jump blues, Country and Western, blues, Hawaiian and rock 'n' roll. They are all multi-instrumentalists playing guitar, piano, banjo, lapsteel guitar, harmonica, double bass, ukulele, drums, trombone, xylophone and accordion between them. When performing live, their parents, Graeme Durham and Ingrid Weiss, play guitar and double-bass. They’ve even released singles on 78rpm vinyl, including a cover of 1940s crooner Louis Jourdan. They have supported artists such as Jools Holland, Mika, Billy Bragg, Coldplay and Mark Ronson.
Jersey Premiere Brass present Acid Brass. Premier Brass was formed in September 1997, and they recently entered The Nationals brass competition in the UK, coming fourth out of nineteen brass bands at the competition held at the Poole Arts Centre in Dorset. For Bordee they will be performing as Acid Brass, originally a musical collaboration beginning in 1997 between Turner prize-winning artist Jeremy Dellar (and co-director of THE POSTERS CAME FROM THE WALLS screening at Branchage earlier this evening) and the Stockport-based Williams Fairey Brass Band, fusing the music of a traditional brass band with acid house and Detroit techno, including work by A Guy Called Gerald, 808 State, and Rhythim Is Rhythim. Dellar viewed the musical genres as "two authentic forms of folk art rooted in specific communities”. Since then the Acid Brass sound has been taken all over the world and has its premiere performance here in Jersey tonight.
DJ Chuckles and Mr Bruce are The Correspondents. This veteran duo play swing with a contemporary twist; the Big Band sound of the 20s and 30s is revamped for the 21st Century. Chuckles is the music maker, a highly skilled producer who is difficult to pigeon hole. His tracks are lyrical and jazzy yet they bounce like hip hop. His talent as a producer is matched by his agility as a DJ. He has an uncanny ability to judge a crowd and make them jive laying down a history of upbeat swing from Benny Goodman to Jurassic 5. Where as Mr Bruce is a modern day dandy whose singing and dancing is equally difficult to categorise. Despite growing up on a diet of jungle and drum 'n' bass, he is an eloquent MC who scats and sings like a cabaret compère about clowns, rogues and two tone brogues.
Dress code: eclectic retro chic, beehives, quiffs, rockabilly, jive…
