Whether riding wild bulls in Cheyanne, playing elephant polo in Nepal or living and training with the American gridiron football team 'The Dallas Cowboys', Max Boyce has never been short of nerve. In making films of all these events he has under- taken some hair-raising stunts and tested himself to the limits with painful and sometimes hilarious results. He has won the genuine admiration of the Rodeo Cowboys for his fearless determination, and the respect of the Dallas Cowboys for his wholehearted and honest endeavour. It was with this total commitment that he hurled himself at the language barriers of the Far East and became the first player to be shown a yellow card in the World Elephant Polo championships and sing through a dust storm in Dubai. From Auckland to Al Ain, from Delhi to Dallas, Max Boyce has disarmed and entertained audiences wherever he has travelled. He once prompted a reviewer in the South China Gazette to remark 'It was not so much a concert as an evening out with an eccentric friend.' And here, in a blend of heartache and humour, he relives some of the strangest and funniest moments of his life 'on the road'.
