(click on the artistes name to see a photo and /or a short biography)
The Irish music scene in Liverpool has long been a vibrant one and out of it has grown one of the finest traditional singers in the country. Bruce Scott, a one time demolition worker who travelled Ireland in the 1960s busking and learning songs, has brought together a great and unusual collection of traditional songs sung in a way that reflects his lifetime of singing. As if that wasn’t enough, he has in recent years started writing his own songs and four of them feature on this CD, including the title track ‘My Colleen by the Shore’ which won Bruce the ‘All Ireland Newly Composed Ballads’ competition in 2004.
