Luka Bloom

De Ierse singer-songwriter Luka Bloom has a special bond with our country. For more than thirty years, he has been a welcome guest in Belgian concert halls. With his powerful performance and engaging personality, he is one of the best troubadours of his generation. Luka Bloom - after the song ‘Luka’ by Suzanne Vega - is the alter ego of Barry Moore. It is the name he adopted to work solo after he had gained fame in the Irish folk scene of the 70s and 80s. Known for his firm touch on his guitar, Luka Bloom brought the energy of rock into his folk songs. Armed with his acoustic guitar and great voice, Luka Bloom puts every audience in his back pocket. His life and work are characterized by words, carried by the melodies that his heart gives him. His strength and charm still reside in the way he can connect his audience with all the exposed emotions in his music. His choice of songs excels in originality, with, besides many of his own classics, also carefully chosen covers. Expect an evening full of fine anecdotes and the many beautiful, new, and old songs from the complete oeuvre of Luka Bloom – for the occasion in the beautiful decor of the Brugse Stadschouwburg
