The Bulls, an a cappella group that wooed people in Canberra on Saturday for Enlighten, are a handful of performers whose history is as entertaining as their act.
‘‘It’s not like having jobs, it’s like playing,’’ said Graeme Rhodes, who added there was no ‘‘lead bull’’.
Any one of the trio could steal the limelight in any moment of passionate improvisation.
Dressed with horns worn above shining matadorial outfits, they may run you down, they may snort and lower their horns they may even draw you in to a passionate dance move.
Reactions from onlookers vary.
‘‘Sometimes they run away, sometimes they laugh, we’ve never been assaulted – we’ve come close a couple of times but I think alcohol was involved,’’ Rhodes said.
A couple of incidents is small because they have been performing similar acts in costume for 30 years.
Their personas include sharks and lizards and next week they will be back in Canberra, on Friday and Saturday, as Pink Fit, purple-shirted, big-haired Casanovas who might just steal someone’s girlfriend.
