About Me

Yes, another girl with a guitar bearing her soul with songs written about life, love and all that other good stuff!. Celine Burke - better known as Lily to her friends (that means you too!!) & family- was born and reared on the northside of Dublin, Ireland. Being the baby of the family, music was a big part of her upbringing and she was heavily influenced by the music that her 6 older brothers and sisters listened to. She was singing since before she could talk - and dancing before she could walk. Since cutting her teeth on the singer songwriter circuit in Dublin, blessed to have shared stage space with the best of irish talent, Lily has also brought her songs to other venues across the globe. Lily has been taking her sweet time preparing material for her eagerly anticipated debut album....
