my good mate Bruce is touring UK from 27th Aug to 25th October, starting in Scotland & ending up in Wales - 26 clubs - tour details

Bruce on Youtube

He's the composer of such classics as I'm on the Train! (a shouty memorial to the things people talk about when they are travelling on public transport) & The Man & the Woman & the Edison Phonograph the story of his great-grandfather's recording of Tasmanian Aboriginal woman Fanny Cochrane Smith in 1903 - this video shows the 2014 recording of the song on a wax cylinder.

He's well represented in the Mudcat Australia-New Zealand Songbook

If you have a chance to see him, don't miss it!

I second, third and fourth what has been said! Bruce is an excellent performer, and a nice bloke too.

Bruce is on his way back - I’m very excited to announce my third UK tour, starting next week. I have 24 wonderful gigs over two months in England and Wales. We will also be spending some time with our son who lives in Wales, and after the tour I will be walking the 800 Camino Frances. All very exciting! - Bruce's website & tour poster

His most recent project was Immortal (https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=173987#4220330) a video that remembers and celebrates the extraordinarily talented people who have made a significant contribution to Australia’s folk scene over the decades – but who are no longer with us. People who have played a key role in expressing, and defining Australia’s changing cultural identity, and who have left a lasting legacy through their music, inspiration, knowledge and passion; performers, songwriters, collectors and inspirers.
