Malcolm Bruce - The Son of Jack Bruce

MALCOLM BRUCE - The son of Jack Bruce (CREAM)

It's been a busy couple of years for Malcolm. As the son of Jack Bruce (CREAM) he has been touring internationally to great success with his project SONS OF CREAM, with 2 tours of the USA, 2 tours of the UK and 1 tour of Europe under his belt since early 2024. 2026 will see the release of the band's album Half and Half on Marshall Records, with extensive touring in support across the USA and UK and beyond, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of the formation of his father's legendary band Cream.

Not one to rest on his laurels, and with his true creative spirit that of an original artist, Malcolm is also working on a new solo rock album, FAKE HUMANS AND REAL DOLLS, to be released later in 2026. He's also working on a progressive blues album with some stellar collaborators, an opera and so much more.

This concert will feature cuts from his various projects past and present, as well as some blistering blues, rock and song classics all performed in his unique style. Expect the unexpected, with music finely crafted as well as spontaneous and cutting edge.

Catch Malcolm in an intimate setting in fabulous Barnoldswick before he heads to the USA for a 60 date tour with Sons of Cream.
