Bruce is a major Australian songwriter and performer in the folk tradition. Based in Melbourne, he performs around Australia and internationally at festivals, clubs and other venues.

His performances are joyful and thoroughly engaging, with witty lyrics and energetic presentation, but also the power to move audiences to tears. He is a masterful craftsman of songs, be they evocative and heart wrenching, or side-splittingly funny.

Bruce’s return to Dreamers Folk is eagerly anticipated, he never fails with his songs to uplift, enthuse and generally give his audiences a good time. Humour & pathos go hand in hand with this guy, don’t miss him.

Bruce has a rare talent . . . the best songwriter I have seen in a long timeEric BogleBruce Watson is a wordsmith, a teller of tales, a spinner of yarns.

Lynne & Pat

Between them they play guitar, recorder, English concertina and a variety of whistles (including swanee, policeman’s and referee’s), list a spoons workshop in their hall of fame, and are not in the least averse to dressing up or dancing when a song requires it. They both agree, however, that their voices are their most important instruments. Their resulting style is a unique blend of stunning song and harmony, and a humour which takes their audience on a roller-coaster ride – “everything from high tragedy to ingenious smut in glorious vocal harmony!”

Following on from Bruce Watson last month, Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner are firm favourites with our Dreamers audience, returning many times with their fantastic harmonies, don’t miss this chance to see two of the best!
