The Beanie Song This is Bruce's newest song, written for the Torquay Beanie Festival (inspired by Alice Sprongs' festival) this year. It is a celebration of the humble but much loved beanie. Bruce put out a call to his friends and fans and received an overwhelming response with photos from over 200 beanie wearers who are featured in the video. In the process he also learned some wonderful beanie stories.
Australia's Lost Languages This song is about language loss in Australia, a little understood part of the tragedy of our colonial history.
The Man and the Woman and the Edison Phonograph (Live) Bruce's new album Balance Includes a duet of this song sung with Ronnie Summers. This video was filmed at the launch of the CD in Easter 2010 at the Troubador at the National Folk Festival. The best bit is the end!
The Rules of English (Live) Another song filmed at the launch of Balance, at the 2010 National Folk Festival. Pokes a bit of fun at the use of English language these days!
I Shared a Urinal with Martin Ferguson ** NEW ** A catchy, cute little ditty about an actual event! With some cheeky footage.
Olegas (Live) From Bruce's album Out My Window, this song is about Tasmanian photographer Olegas Truchanas, who was an inspiration to many, and whose photos of the doomed Lake Pedder stand as testomony to his vision. Filmed at the 2010 National Folk Festival as part of the Unsung Heroes of Australian History concerts.
Down at the Pool (Live) Yet another song from the new album, Balance. This song was written in 2008 as part of the campaign to save the Coburg Olympic Pool, which was ultimately successful. The first video was filmed at the launch of Balance, at the 2010 National Folk Festival, featuring Shaking the Tree, Strat, Lyndal, Gavan and Peter Vad. Thie second video was taken of the song's inaugural performance at a family day in support of the campaign. We had a lot of fun.
The Old Bush Dance (Live) A song about the joys of country dances, filmed back in 1998 at the Maldon Folk Festival with the Emu Creek Band. The quality of the picture and sound aren't brilliant, but you can tell that everyone looked a lot younger!
