They’ve got something for everyone
By Marisa de Silva
Anno Domini (A.D.)is a four–member outfit which has a wide repertoire ranging from pop, rock, blues, ballads, folk, retro, country and oldies, which is one of the main reasons for the band’s popularity with audiences of all ages.

A.D. always ensures that there’s something in it for everyone at all their performances. Some of the main artistes whose music they perform include the likes of Eric Clapton, The Eagles, CCR, Paul Simon, Bryan Adams and Don Williams among others.

Though individually the groups’ members have played in various other outfits before, A.D. officially started making music as a band around March last year. The current line-up of the group has a good mix of talented musicians and vocalists who have mastered both acoustic and non-acoustic music styles. Adrien de Niese (Guitar) was a part of the Duo ‘Us 2’. Suraj Gunawardena, the band’s bassist cum vocalist made his debut into the music scene as a member of A.D. Malith Fernando, a former member and vocalist of ‘Quest’, joins A.D. as vocalist and guitarist replacing Prageeth Jerome. One of the founder members of ‘Damage’ Shehan Perera, makes his contribution via vocals and guitar.

As of January this year A.D. performs at the Molly’s Irish Pub every Wednesday from 8 p.m. onwards, and the Deli Market, World Trade Centre, every Friday from 6.30 p.m. onwards. In addition they also take on weddings, parties and the like, A.D. where they employ the skill of keyboardist Prasad Perera as the repertoire and the music for such events vary.
