In 1972 Barry Moore wrote a song called “Wave up to the Shore”. Not his first song, but it had something. He did some gigs, wrote some songs; and, in 1987, he boarded a plane for New York, and Luka Bloom was born. “Riverside” was released in 1990 on Reprise Records. It was followed by “The Acoustic Motorbike, and Turf”.
During the early 1990s, the life of writing, recording and touring took off. The US, Australia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, and UK are frequent destinations for Luka’s songs. As well as his own touring, he has performed at some of the great festivals: Pinkpop (Holland); Roskilde (Denmark), Torhout\Werchter (Belgium), Newport Folk Festival (US), Byron Blues Festival (Australia), Glastonbury (UK), and Cambridge (UK). Most of all, he regularly sings all over Ireland, where he lives in County Clare.
Since 2000, Luka has been releasing his own songs and music. With 17 independent albums in total, as well as a book of photographs and some lyrics called “Homeplace”. In 2022, Luka was singing “Wave up to the Shore” at home one afternoon and h e suddenly realised it was 50 years old. This resulted in a triple CD of 50 songs from the past 50 years.
