In 2005 he also hosted the East Coast Music Awards, which aired live across Canada on CBC television – he walked away that year with three ECMAs and added the Entertainer of the Year award to his mantle in 2006 when East Coast fan’s voted him into the spot.

They have been good gifts to me, and I’m happy to share them.” Bernie Finkelstein (President / True North Records) sums up My Dinner With Bruce this way: ”Steve Bell finds the beauty, strength, and intrigue in Bruce Cockburn’s songs and gives each track his own fine interpretation. Simply said, this is a wonderful record.”
