Born January 7th, 1958. Passed away May 5th, 2026.

Sean Burke first taste with the music business in 1977 with the punk band [[artist:Open Sore]], whose first release “Vertigo“ is considered a punk classic. Soon after the recording of the live album "[Farewell To The Roxy](https://www.discogs.com/Various-Farewell-To-The-Roxy/master/465648)" Burke joined [[artist:Tubeway Army]] and recorded the single ‘Bombers”. Burke then briefly joined [[artist:Robert and the Remoulds]] and recorded the single "X no 1 / Do eyes ever meet?" He then formed a new band with Open Sore / Tubeway Army drummer [[artist:Barry Benn]] which was originally called "The Station Boys", but due to a heavy controlling management the band was pushed into using the name [[artist:Tubeway Patrol]]. Because of the Tubeway name and the contractual ties of the management, the band were then dropped by their record company, leading to Burke splitting the band and concentrating on a solo career. He also played guitar for [[artist:Jayne County]].
