Think I was 22 at the time and I didn’t really know who he was, but he was friendly and helpful. A true gent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgie were my favourite band since I was still at school. Burke was a big influence so it was a no brainer for me. Funnily enough I played 6 string guitar first and Tony Bourge is the reason I'm playing at all ! Unfortunately my old 1969 Precision is a more recent purchase so it was way too late for the tribute.

Mickeyboro Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 One of the most entertaining people I ever interviewed. Didn’t take himself seriously, hence the daft song titles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I saw them in 1975 at the Kursaal in Southend. It was an old dancehall with a sprung wooden floor and the whole place was like a trampline during Zoom Club. Fabulous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I knew Burke, but for a good while I had no idea of his significance or even that he was a bass player. He would often attend local jam nights and gigs and was always incredibly supportive. He is much missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
