LUKA BLOOM

Born Barry Moore in County Kildare with an elder brother called Christie he changed his name on a flight to the USA where he was based until the mid '90s. Not only a tremendous guitarist but also a mesmerising performer, Luka is one of the rare showmen who can fill two hours at ease with only a guitar in his hands. And in between, he knows how to mark himself with some funny blinding lyrics. Time Off Magazine described him as "Without doubt one of the world's finest soloists"
