Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond everyone's control the start of this tour will now be Kate Burke solo as her duo partner Ruth Hazleton has been unavoidably delayed back in Australia by a "minor health glitch that required immediate attention". After minor surgery the plan is that Ruth will rejoin Kate in a week or so to complete the summer UK tour (so please check their websites to see where to catch them in duo form).

Kate is an adept and experienced performer in her own right. The Melbourne roots music scene witnesses a lot of cross pollination between various groups and aggregations and Kate is an integral part of this. She's also a key member of the award winning quartet 'Trouble In The Kitchen' who have themselves just finished a visit to Europe.
