Bruce has a rare talent . . . the best songwriter I have seen in a long time Bruce Watson is a wordsmith, a teller of tales, a spinner of yarns. He is a contemporary songwriter with lots of stories he tells with passion and integrity. An Australian folk hero! Absolutely f…ing brilliant! He rocked the festival with a series of hysterically funny songs and heartwrenching songs. I was so impressed . . . Bruce is an animated performer with great songs in the folk tradition A talented singer/songwriter. He has a terrific rapport with the audience and a great range of songs Bruce Watson is a brilliant Australian singer-songwriter. Bruce really is the complete package.
He performs great serious songs, hilarious funny songs and has a great line in patter. I can't recommend him highly enough One of my favourite songwriters. One of Australia's best, and a pillar of the Australian folk and acoustic circuit. The high class singer/songwriter many of us would like to be but few will be Watson crafts his songs with skill and has a real ear for a catchy melody Bruce is up there with the likes of Eric Bogle and Judy Small when it comes to writing and performing. One of the most entertaining and engaging performers at the Festival. Bruce has a professionalism and timing of delivery which sorts him out very quickly from the average performer. He had the audience smiling and singing from the first song. Bruce Watson is a remarkable singer and songwriter. He blasted the room with great, witty lyrics, and an energetic, joyful presentation. Bruce has a quirky, very Australian sense of humour. His topics about small, ordinary things in people's lives, were so evocative, it was like sitting on the family verandah listening to songs about our own lives. Bruce had the house on an emotional roller coaster ride. Every one was singing, waving hands in the air, laughing or sitting quietly listening to a thought provoking song How does Bruce Watson write such great songs? What a lovely album! Another Bruce Watson CD to add to my “play when I need to feel good about the world” pile Bruce (has) the amazing gift of putting to words and music emotions that most of us feel but cannot express. Amazon is the most important piece of music I've heard in the last 15 years. I love the harmonies, the sentiments expressed, the fabulously clever lyrics and humour, the humanity imbedded in so many songs. Come to think of it I love them all. Congratulations! One of Australia’s finest contemporary songs One of the most moving songs to ever to come out of Australia "101 Songs" (songbook) is a wonderful contribution to modern Australian folk music.
