Sticky Jazz Interview Noel Burke (St Vitus Dance , Echo & the Bunnymen)

So many "What if's" in music, Noel Burke was already successful in his band St Vitus Dance when he was asked to be the vocalist for Echo  & The Bunnymen in 1989.  Looking back, the album has stood the test of time, and now can be considered a great piece of musical literature. 

I spoke to Noel about the new St Vitus Dance music, and his time in The Bunnymen,  plenty of Liverpool, and Belfast culture as well.  He tells some great stories that not many have heard, if only because there is not a lot written about him. He was very approachable, and happy to answer any questions, for a longtime fan of the bordering on obscure, this was a great conversation.  

St Vitus Dance is going to be releasing new singles until they are ready to make them all into an album, AND they will be performing the Reverberation album in its entirety on October 19th in Liverpool  [https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/st-vitus-dance-featuring-noel-burke-ex-echo-and-the-bunnymen-tickets-935503424927]
