Luka Bloom
Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter, Luka Bloom, has enjoyed eighteen years of successful worldwide tours, and has released his twelfth album “Eleven Songs”, worldwide in October 2008.  With his new studio album Luka returns to the raw live sound of his earlier records, reminding us why he is such a master of the concert stage. 

Like many Irish families Luka comes from a family of singers and songwriters, first going on tour with older brother, Christy Moore. In 1987 Luka went to the US and toured with The Pogues, The Violent Femmes, Hothouse Flowers and The Cowboy Junkies.
Warner Music, in Los Angeles, signed Luka in 1990 and over the next four years, recorded three albums for them, ‘Riverside’, ‘The Acoustic Motorbike’ and ‘Turf’. Following the success of these albums, Luka then went on to release a further seven albums on his own “Big Sky Records” label. Over the years Luka has brought his songs to clubs, theatres, festivals, bars and arenas all over the world.  His incredibly gifted electro-acoustic guitar playing guarantees an impassioned live performance of his original, poetic and melodic songs.
