UK Songwriting 2014 Award

Bruce & Walker's song "Ode to an Old Friend" from their last album "Born to Rottenrow" on Greentrax Records, Edinburgh has received an award for reaching the semi final stage of the prestigious UK Songwriting Contest 2014. Songs are carefully examined by an expert team of music industry judges and very few of the songs entered get to the semi stage. The award is certainly better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

The Scottish Diaspora

BRUCE & WALKER are fair chuffed to be included on a new CD project from Greentrax Recordings, Edinburgh due for release on 1st February 2014. It is called THE SCOTTISH DIASPORA - The Music and The Song. The CD is a companion to the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry which is being embroidered by Scottish communities all over the the world to reflect the global influence of Scottish culture over the centuries. We sing a traditional song “My Last Farewell to Stirling” accompanied by Ian McCalman and Hamish Bayne. The CD has 39 tracks featuring many of the finest musicians, singers and songwriters from Scotland and abroad including Stan Rogers, Jean Redpath, Dick Gaughan, Brian McNeill, Catherine-Ann MacPhee, Donnie Munro, Salsa Celtica, Robin Laing, The McCalmans, Margaret Stewart, Joan MacKenzie, Fiona J. MacKenzie, Alan Mills, Mairi MacInnes, Natalie MacMaster, Murdo MacDonald, Allan MacDonald, Coreen Scott, Rua, The Cast, Alison McMorland and Kirsty Potts, Hamish Moore and Choirs, Siobhan Miller, George Archibald and Charlie Milne (of Ragged Glory) and Dr. Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna Suchitra Mitra. Just great to be involved!

Born to Rottenrow

​The new BRUCE & WALKER CD/DVD is due to be released on Greentrax on 1st February 2014. It is called Born to Rottenrow; Rottenrow being the name of a famous maternity hospital in the centre of Glasgow which first expelled The Bruce and Walker into the daylight... at different times of course! The CD has 12 new songs and the DVD is of a party at Ian McCalman's Studio featuring many of our older songs being sung by the assembled multitude of friends. Fraser Bruce makes a now rare public performance singing a couple of the songs which Fraser and Ian Bruce made so popular back in the day. The DVD also has an interview with Kenny McDonald of Radio Black Diamond FM (107.8). We shall be singing from one end of the UK and abroad over the next year so hope to see you and let you hear some of the new repertoire!
