On the 13th January, Marlborough College played host to a special concert in aid of the charity, Help for Heroes. Commanding the stage of the Memorial Hall were The Bills, a ‘Bluegrass’ band, recently voted Western Canada’s Entertainers of the Year.
Exuberant Rhythms

The Bills are well known for their exuberant performances, evocative song writing, and refreshingly innovative interpretations of traditional tunes from around the globe.

Help for Heroes 

They draw their musical inspiration from a broad range of North American traditions, a mix of European styling, rhythms of Latin America, and melodies of the travelling Romany peoples.

 

Through vibrant musical explorations and a natural on-stage charm, the band quickly founded a rapport with the audience, their energy complemented by an evocative use of lighting. An air of excited anticipation soon gave way to a relaxed sense of enjoyment as individuals were hooked into a set of electric and original melodies and rhythms.
