Vince Bruce is not what you'd expect. From the start
it seemed he was careening up life’s one-way street
the wrong way, blazing a trail of contradictions.
Cowboys come from America, Vince comes from
England. Cowboys are Sturdy, if Vince was to turn
sideways, you’d miss him.
Even so, the fact remains that Vince is now
considered to be the foremost western act in the
world. He roman rides, cracks whips, spins ropes,
and entertains with a flair and
a wit that keeps crowds riveted. When you want the
best, you want Vince Bruce.
It was a chance meeting of Wild West rodeo star Tex McLeod that first put
a lasso in Vince’s hands and Vince’s typically British father first taught him
how to use it.
That chance meeting with Tex spawned Vince’s love for cowboys, horses,
ropes and the Vaqueros of the Old West that has consumed his whole
life. He began doing rope tricks when he was six years old. At twelve he
already had a regular spot at a local country club and by the time he was
sixteen he was an established performer in the traveling circuses of
England and France.
At nineteen he left the circus life for what he saw as the sophistication of
cabaret and embarked on an eight year tour of the world’s night clubs. A
list of the countries where Vince has performed, reads like the index of a
World atlas. Since those early years he’s performed in a diversity of
venues from half - time act for the “Harlem Globetrotters” to the Broadway
stage - where he was “The Roper” for two and a half years in “WILL
ROGERS’ FOLLIES”.
It was in New York that he met his wife Annie, whose own love for horses
had been put aside for a singing career. Together, they decided to pool
their talents, buy a couple of horses and head out west!
Over the last seven years, audiences from the San Francisco Cow Palace
to Jackson, Mississippi the Fort Worth Stock Show to the Calgary
Stampede have been held spellbound by this tall lanky Englishman.
Charging out into the arena atop two galloping horses in silver mounted
saddles while spinning an enormous loop of rope around them, Vince is
the Consummate Showman. In one of their routines, Annie rides out
singing and Vince spins fancy loops around his horse culminating with
Annie riding past him and Vince roping her. What a sight!
Whether in the Rodeo Arena, on Stage, Corporate Functions or Dinner
Shows, their performance is a mixture of dazzling rope tricks, dangerous
feats of whip cracking and an offbeat British humor.
