He won the All-Ireland Senior Accordion Championship at the Flead Cheoil in 1959 and again in 1960. Together with fiddler Aggie Whyte, he won the All-Ireland duet championship in 1962. He was also a superb flautist, and in the 1980s recorded a flute-harp duet album, ‘The Tailor’s Choice’, with the renowned harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh. Joe Burke was RTÉ's Traditional Musician of the Year in 1970 and again 1997. In 1956 Joe Burke was a founding member of the Leitrim Ceili Band, and he first toured in the USA in 1961, living in New York from 1962 to 1965. During this time he formed a trio with fiddler Andy McGann and pianist Felix Dolan, with whom he recorded an LP, ‘A Tribute to Michael Coleman’, first released in 1966 on his own Shaskeen Label and would later record again with this trio, issuing ‘The Funny Reel’ LP on the Shanachie Label in 1979. Other musical collaborators over the years have included the great Belfast fiddler Sean Maguire, piper Michael Cooney, harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh, fiddler Kevin Burke, pianist Charlie Lennon, and his wife Anne Conroy Burke, a guitarist and accordionist, whom he married in 1990.
