Description

A virtuoso musician and singer who performs classic folk songs alongside traditional tunes, Luke developed a passion for Irish traditional music as a child, learning to play the button box from Connemara man Paddy Coyne who ran the local Irish pub. His unique style of playing guitar flowered in his teens after discovering singers such as Nick Drake and John Martyn.

Luke has been touring since the mid 1990?s with Riverdance, De Dannan and Cara Dillon but from 2012 released four critically acclaimed albums of his own songs. His 2014 album ?Revolve and Rotate? used a restored Victorian polyphon (music box) to provide his own unique accompaniments to classic folk songs such as ?Canadee-IO?.
