Details: Irish born Luka Bloom has proven difficult to categorise. Whilst renowned for covering songs both old and new, Bloom is much more than a mere imitator of other styles. He re-interprets material in his own innovative way, conveying his genuine love of the song and the artist that created it. Ultimately, he offers something new and unique. Bloom says that his work is a journey to the core of a song. It is a journey worth taking.
