Luka Bloom is coming to the Hot Spot
Luka Bloom is coming to the Hot Spot Music Club in Greystones on Friday, October 27. With a poet’s heart and a rockster’s soul, Luka Bloom is regarded as one of Ireland’s most respected contemporary folk artists, having produced over 20 albums since the 1970s, Bloom continues to push the boundaries of what his music can do. A master interpreter, Bloom has con- tinued to balance original songs with reinventions of tunes by a diverse range of songwriters.
Luka’s orchestra of choice is the guitar. What makes his career a little different is his constant search for a new voice within the guitar. The guitar is the landscape on which the song is created, and he is forever probing that landscape for new inspiration.
No effects, no gadgets. Time, effort and a whole lot of love bring forth new voicings within the instrument, and bit by bit, the songs come to life. Almost 40 years since recording his first album, Luka Bloom comes to The Hot Spot. Doors open 8 p.m. Tickets www.thehotspot.ie or phone 087 2917519.
