I’ve just found your blog (which is brilliant by the way) and read the post about the Rosie Burgess Trio. Funny that, ‘cos I was at that gig and I think I might have seen the very same bearded lady…

Keep writing, so I have something interesting to read!

I’d rather see the mother / son duo who’ve attended every recording given a shot. There’s a lifetime of untapped reality show potential in that pair

If you genuinely want a crack on the show, I know a mate of a mate who works on the show. They’ve offered to help me “skip the audition queue” in the past, so…

For the record, Bruce and Fran have since been informed by a very reliable and independent source, that Matt Preston is as lovely a man as you could wish to meet and likes to wear Hard Yakka shirts when not preening around.

Bruce has also taken to wearing vintage suits…

I love counting the number of times per episode that Julie breaks into big, fat tears of humiliation and/or joy.

At least there’s a South Park/Flight of the Conchords digestivo (it’s wafer thin) at 8:30 on the Sexytime Broadcasting System.

[...] June 11, 2009 by bruceandfran Fran has just had to cancel a long-planned trip to Hong Kong at the end of this month to visit her sister and baby nephew because Victoria is to swine flu what the Pope is to AIDS. Bruce has already had one moan about the Australian Government’s handling of the bug and the pissweak media scrutiny they’ve faced over it – here. [...]

Comment on Uber-hoppy beer and cinnamon-tinged ales @ Mountain Goat by bruceandfran

Was at the Goat briefly yesterday afternoon and had the first pot of Hightail poured off Randy since Wednesday – Jesus! Could smell it from two feet away – was an experience more than a beer; something to spend half an hour sipping rather than drinking.

That sounds pretty amazing. I’ll be down in Melbourne in a few weeks time for the soccer, will have to give it a look.

By the way, I have a couple of questions Bruce (if you have time to indulge me):
1. I’m guessing you’re a journo from your past blog entries and I was just wondering: do you write freelance or for any particular magazine/newspaper/website?
2. Can you recommend either the Prince of Wales or the Espy as a live venue? We’re trying to choose which to visit to see a gig when we’re down in Melbourne town – I’m sure the bands playing will probably decide more than anything but I’ve not been to either and am curious as to whether either are decidedly average/excellent/to be avoided.

Comment on Well, fancy that. There’s Nick Cave! by Blackpool comes to Melbourne for the Champions League Final « G’day, G’day

[...] Another omen appeared shortly before kick off; Irish actor James Nesbitt walked in. In town to shoot a film, he soon confirmed the opinion Bruce had formed from his TV persona – i.e. that he’s arrogant and charmless – by announcing he was on the phone to Sir Alex Ferguson the night before and would have been in Rome were it not for his shooting schedule. However, Bruce passed the moment off as a mere coincidence rather than a harbinger, like the time he and Fran met Nick Cave wandering around the Him exhibition. [...]
