S07 E14 – Derek Burke Band – Recrystallization of an Irish Music Swinger
Manage episode 411932983 series 2627563
Derek Burke Band join Laura and Benny as part of their launch marketing tour.
A man of many names, including “your man”, Derek addresses the swingers in the room.
Country true and true, from tractors to jives, music is in Derek's bones and a showman is in his soul. The energy Derek Burke brings when he is preforming is off the charts.
Derek tells great stories from the early days in Crystal Swing, from the big break and big “hack” that resulted in them going viral (you have to love Irish mammies! "our YouTube is hacked").
We get the run down on Derek’s love for vintage Motor Bikes and Tractors.
Derek Burke Band will keep you entertained at weddings whether you are 18 or 80, covering a broad spectrum of songs, bringing energy and infectious humour. The professional showman reads the room before the room knows it is a book to be read.
For all the showman Derek is, he has a quality band behind him and offers add-ons of Saxophone and Accordion to boot. You can go bog standard band or all out bells and whistle. Derek’s history in big shows means he has access to the mega setup and knows how to use the best of the best gear.
First Dance talk gets a talking, and great advice in general is given.
