Ian Bruce Solo
What a time we've all had in the last three years. I hope you've not been too
tragically touched by events?
​
I had Covid twice. First time was pre-vaccine and very very scary.
Seems I got through not too badly.
​
My diary was shaping up nicely in 2020 then the bombshell struck.
It certainly took the wind out of my sails.
​
However, looking back on it I realise just how productive I've been.
​
Released "Children of Blue" as Bruce, Besch & Bramkamp.
Released "Young Territorial" as Ian Bruce & The Tartan Spiders.
​
Produced & Released my brother's CD "Every Song's a Story"
​
Released "The Land We Love" with Pete Clark, Ian Lowthian & Bruce MacGregor.
​
Produced & Released "The Jim McLean Songbook"
​
And lately, after three years of graft in between these other projects that kept pushing it to the back burner is
"TOGETHER FOREVER" with the host of fantastic guests.
​
I'm kinda pleased with myself. Certainly I believe that my repertoire has been vastly expanded and a more mature version of me is back out there gigging again in one form or another.
​
I have been out playing solo again and I am very satisfied with the reaction.
​
When all my gigs were cancelled I kinda lost heart and this website went into disrepair. Please bear with me. I will get it back up to speed.
​
Meanwhile if you fancy getting in touch to see the auld fella once again I'd be delighted. Have a look at the calendar and see if there's maybe a place near you that would suit.
​
I'm back playing music for all the right reasons. I love it. Connecting again with audiences after being locked down within my four walls has been mind blowing. Lets get some momentum back up please.
​
My localist gigs around Scotland are mainly with Kev Green. We're having a ball.
The German gigs are with Frank & Kath. They're going very nicely too.
​
Everything else is solo.
​
I don't want to tell you what I do. Many of you, since you're on my site, will already know. Take a listen to the albums. They're all here. The Robert Burns renditions, The Traditional and the self penned work that I find hard to describe, so I won't bother trying. Save to say that I believe I am audience focused.
​
I'll be nipping away at this site over the next wee while. As I asked before "Please bear with me."
​
I hope to see you again very soon.
​
Ian Bruce
