Michelle Burke
After honing her craft as lead vocalist with Irish/American super group Cherish the Ladies, Michelle is now embarking on a solo career with the unveiling of her debut solo album ‘pulling threads’, a stunningly assured collection of classic ballads and lesser-known gems.
Michelle hails originally from rural East Cork,
where she grew up in a music-loving household. She studied music at University College Cork; where she earned a B/Mus and went on to earn an MA in Irish Traditional Music Performance at the Irish World Music Centre at Limerick University in 2001 from Michael O Suilleabhain’s course.
