Nic Burke is an associate member of the veteran British synthpop group The Human League.
Since 2001 Burke has been The Human League's resident multi-instrumentalist both in the studio and on tour. He is a familiar face of many gigs over the years since 2001. He is notable for his long electric guitar solos on tracks such as Together in Electric Dreams and The Lebanon. He is an equally skilled keyboard player but generally prefers to use a Keytar on stage. Often he provides incidental vocals, and takes the role formerly filled by Jo Callis on tracks such as (Keep Feeling) Fascination, generally sharing Susan Ann Sulley’s microphone. He is by far the youngest member of The Human League and was notable for his very gothic dress sense and style when he first started playing with the band, which was completely at odds with most peoples perception of the Human League, although today he has a more ’Rock’ appearance .[1]
