Peter has been around the country and folk scene since the 60s and in that time he has played with some of New Zealands top musicians.
He has also made their guitars, fiddles and mandolines etc
Its great when the music is past down through the family and we are going to see three generations on stage doing some originals and some covers by the likes of John Prine ,Guy Clarke etc
Some great playing and singing with all three taking the lead at times.
Peter Madill, Jude Madill, and Joseph Coleman, three generations of the same family. Combining dynamic and diverse musical styles with strong vocal harmonies they perform original songs and a wide range of music from elsewhere. As well as having three vocalists in this lineup, The Madillionaires play guitars, fiddle, accordion, banjo, mandolin, octave mandolin and attitude. The Madillionaires will entertain you with songs from the Americana/Country/Folk realm with some jazz influenced solos to keep it interesting.
Peter Madill, renowned luthier and musician, has been playing and singing since the late 60s, starting in the Dunedin folk scene, then moving to Auckland in the 1970s. He has performed with a number of successful bands over the years including Gentle Annie and Late Harvest.
Jude Madill, the next generation, plays and sings with great feel and an equal enthusiasm and love for music. Living in Wellington since 1990, she has played both solo and in groups around the local acoustic, folk and americana scenes for several years now. Jude also writes her own material.
Joseph Coleman, the most recent band member, is the third generation of 'Madill' and as such could not avoid joining the band. Currently studying music at university, Joseph is an integral part of The Madillionaires on accordion, mandolin, and singing.
