JOHN BURKE Vocals
Alias: The Pocket Rocket /
Saucy Noddy. This high-octane vocalist began with the infectiously titled "SAVAGE
FAIRIES" of Ardmore. It is rumoured nae, reputed that Savage
Fairies t - shirts can still be found (pictures of a long haired John are being
held for bribery purposes only). His onstage presence looms large and is
renowned for the incomparable "Ardmore Walk" a short step shuffle
groove of left to right movements performed during solos.
The Boy Wonder as is befitting of a magnetic frontman draws a lot of
attention from the female audience but his closed eyes passion and tender grip
of the microphone lends the admirer the impression that the compliment is not
being recipicated. A passionate performer (back to the singing now) John has a
deep well of songwriting skills that the band hope to exploit in the coming
year, with" Everyway I Turn" being received extremely well at gigs.
Best Moment: A rendition of
"BAD" that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and then
curl with satisfaction.
