Thread Name: Bruce Watson touring UK Sept-Oct 2019
Subject: Bruce Watson touring UK Sept-Oct 2019
Bruce is a major Australian songwriter and performer in the folk tradition. Based in Melbourne, he performs around Australia at festivals, clubs and other venues. Bruce is a hilarious humorist and a writer and performer with the power to move audiences to tears. His performances are joyful and thoroughly engaging, with witty lyrics and energetic presentation. He is a masterful craftsman of songs, be they evocative and heart wrenching, or side-splittingly funny.
He's also a friend, so if he's booked for a club near you, check him out, tho I dunno about young - like me he has retired. But he is young in spirit & a great performer & songwriter.
from his newsletter - If you have any friends or relatives in that part of the world who you think might be interested, it would be wonderful if you could forward this email to them and encourage them to get along and see this up and coming young Australian lad do his thing! Having never performed in the UK before, it would be great to see people who know people I know at the gigs!
