   About Sam Burke

Sam Burke

Sam Burke is one of the rising stars on the Australian folk scene. At the beginning of 2007 she released her self-titled debut album in Australia through Black Market Music to critical acclaim. In its week of release Melbourne's PBS FM hailed it as 'Album of the Week' and it has received nationwide airplay on both ABC and community radio stations around the country.

This year Sam has been invited to headline festivals in New Zealand, New Caledonia and Vanuatu, in conjunction with a tour of Iceland and national tours around Australia. Sam has supported Lisa Miller, Tiffany Eckhardt, Keiran Halpin (Ireland) amongst others. Her music has appeared in plays, film and TV in Australia and New Zealand. Her follow up album is due for release in October 2008.

Jó, Sam Burke - what's happenin'? :P

Við vildum bara minna á eftirfarandi dansiball. Lukku Láki, 24. maí, á morgun, beint eftir að Íslandi hefur loksins tekist að vinna Evróvisjón og við erum að búast við þér á staðnum í hörku stuði! Við lofum að spila ekki eitt einasta Eurovision lag, þar sem við vitum að landinn verður kominn með hundleið á þeim þegar líða tekur á nóttina ;)

Hæ Sam Burke and The Wifeys - ertí stuði?

Við vildum bara minni á að við spilum ekki á laugardaginn næsta á Hressó eins og áætlað var vegna .. jah, vitleysu. En við munum í staðinn halda feitt partí í buxunum okkar á föstudeginum 25. apríl á sama stað, Hressó. Endilega, ekki mæta á laugardaginn, sparaðu þig frekar fyrir 25. apríl .. það verður miklu skemmtilegra, við lofum!!

Sjáumst á dansgólfinu!

Sam Burke and The Wifeys ... Er ekki kominn tími á gott dansiball niðri í miðbæ Reykjavíkur?

Dísel mæla sterklega með því að kíkt verði á The Dubliner þessa helgi og þá næstu og að fólk taki sig til í drykkjunni svona rétt til að fagna því að páskarnir eru liðnir ... eða að sumarið sé að koma ... eða bara drekka afþví það er gaman ... drekktu bara áfengi næstu tvær helgar og kíktu við á ball ... það er gaman, við lofum !!
