Bordarii Tu

About Me

Bordarii Tu used to be called something else. The duo got together following demo recording sessions for a well known and very successful group - three demos from the sessions of 1999 have been added. One of the clips on the 'Covers Demos Chain' is taken from the original demo of a song which the Mark 2 line-up had a number one hit with. According to those who have heard it, this demo, with a sixteen year-old 'Celeste' taking the lead vocals, is much better than the final cover which topped the charts. That's life! It's amazing how much 'Celeste's' voice has altered in 10 years - that's what musical theatre does. The current project remains 'work in progress' whilst its members are engaged in creative and gainful employment elsewhere. 'Celeste's' year-long UK tour in 'We Will Rock You' (which ends in Ireland in February 2010) means that further work will be suspended for a year or so.
