About This Song
About "Burke & Hare (Live)" by Mike McGoldrick, John McCusker & John Doyle
Recorded live, this trad-folk trio turns the grisly Burke & Hare into a brisk, blackly comic reel. Fiddle and flute dart like accomplices through dim Edinburgh closes, while guitar grounds the gallows humor. The audience's hush makes the macabre tale feel intimate, almost conspiratorial.
