The Album Launch for “a conversation with fate”

“…they sound like classics to me” Max Reinhardt

a sweet and sour Masterpiece” JP Buckley

It was a great night! –

Thanks so much to everyone who came down. I just heard the playback and can hear your voices!

Thanks also to Max Reinhardt for giving over a massive part of the show to us. Hana and Paul sounded just great. Here’s the link which Morley have just released. You can hear us live about half an hour in.

After that there’s me and Max chatting which might be a bit toe curling for me to hear (I wonder what I said?) but he does play an awful lot of the Album, seven tracks including the long one at the end ‘totally curtains’ , and ‘Salad days’ which I’d kind of forgotten about but a lot of you commented on (in a good way).

The one he wanted to play but didn’t get around to was ‘Thank you,’ but then, it’s there on the Album if you want to hear it – (I’m cutting out smiley faces so you’ll have to guess when I’m joking)

After that we went to the pub, so the whole thing felt like a proper post-Covid night out.

Well, as you probably know that was the fun bit now lets see if I can flog a few copies 😉

1,2,3,4!

Autobiograpical innit?

Wrote this in Nathaniel’s bedroom which may be why it become something about the 4 of us.

Last week in wet October me and Laurie, (or possibly Laurie and I) did the video, having gone through one phone and 2 cameras I finally figured out we could yank the computer about  on extension lead and do the stop motion like that. A lot of it worked pretty well and some of it didn’t but that all got cut!

it’s available at https://vincentburke.bandcamp.com/track/1234

and here are the words for the hard of hearing:

1,2,3,4!

I’m
just no good
I can’t sing
I can’t chop wood
friends cast me out
but I’ve got1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about

I
can’t be found
all my hits
go underground
file them away
because I got

1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about

I didn’t know too much about the world before
I used to sit at home and observe the floor
I want more

so here I am
here’s my wife
here’s my pram
time slips away

but I got
1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about.

Another Win!

Late Junction (Radio 3) played me again on Thursday!

Flattered as always to be on the undisputed best show on radio. That’s 4 different songs Max Reinhardt has played of mine now so over the moon really – although shouldn’t I be rolling in money by now?

“vincent burke South Londons wry singer-songwriter and chronicler of our times has been busy cooking up a demo to make sure the chocolate hearts (on Valentines day) are bitter sweet – can I just explain?”
