BURNS is a collaboration of various musicians from different countries who have come together to perform the songs of Brian Burns.

Brian has been a singer/songwriter for 16 years. Born in Liverpool, he grew up in Ireland and performed as singer/frontman in bands such as Scream Vision and Seakings Dream in Dublin in the nineties before moving to France in 1993. Here Brian developed his craft and learned guitar to assist in his song writing.

From France Brian moved to Germany where he would spend the best part of 10 years touring all major German cities and a few places in between. Performing solo and with his bands ANISH (Traditional and original) and BURNS (first time in Bremen in 2000), Brian played in major festivals, concerts and gigs throughout Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, USA etc.

In 2005, Brian moved to the polar town of Umea in north Sweden. Here Brians songwriting takes on a new slant and is clearly inspired by the wilderness and landscapes that is Lappland, the Arctic Circle and northern Sweden generally. The single Northern Dream is a culmination of these images and places in word and song.

In the summer of 2008, Brian returned to Ireland to work on his latest songs with musicians from past and present including Ken Murphy from ANISH and various people from PICTUREHOUSE. The single was recorded in WESTLAND studios, Dublin (Christy Moore, The Corrs, Shania Twyane etc.) and in Gavin Ralstons, SILVERWOOD studios in Wicklow.

The single will include Northern Dream, both in english and swedish Norrland Drom and another new song Where were you? recorded acoustically in Silverwood. These songs and others will be played in their recorded versions for the first time in concerts in Ireland, Sweden and Germany in December 2008.

In Spring 2009, Brian recorded a new single with the Irish/Swedish combo ARISH. The single includes the tracks "On the road" and "Sandcastles" written by Brian for his deceased Uncle Sean Murray. Brian spent most of summer 2009 touring with Arish in various parts of Sweden, mostly in Norrland. In the Autumn 2009 Brian has been recording the new album "Innocence Lost" with various memebers of ARISH and other musicians from Sweden. The album is expected to be released in December 2009.
