The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Oct 2003

Worrying about to what to do with your Thursdays is a thing of the past with Coast @ The Purty Kitchen in Dun Laoghaire launching a new series of weekly gigs.

Kicking off on October 23 with Luka Bloom, the live action continues with Aslan (30) and Antoni O Breskey and Angolan percussionist Mario Ngnoma (November 6).

The Breskey show promises to be an absolute corker with no lesser an authority than, ahem, Hot Press describing him as "a genius whose originality makes him one of the most innovative artists in the varied musical genres of today."

All gigs start at 9pm with more information available from www.purtykitchen.com

The younger generation of Irish singer-songwriters have tended to obscure Luka Bloom's place in the firmament. But with this more reflective and introspective album (his 10th), he restores himself to his rightful place in the pantheon of intelligent and passionate songsmiths with his uncanny ability to see the power and meaning in the atoms of daily life.

Luka Bloom to release new live album

2003-03-14 - News

With an Irish tour approaching and a new album in the shops, Luka Bloom looks back on three decades that have taken him from busking in a pub in Newbridge to the big stages of Europe and America. In this candid interview with Jackie Hayden the man also known as Barry Moore talks about brother Christy, overcoming stage fright, finding an original voice, dealings with the music business, the need to combat racism - and why he remains a wannabe bogman

2002-03-12 - REVIEW

Arguably, his most fully realised collection of original songs yet

2002-02-12 - REVIEW

It would seem that inside every successful singer songwriter there’s a covers album struggling to get out. Following George Michael, Annie Lennox et al, the fad now appears to be passing into Irish trad circles, with De Dannan’s ill-advised Hotel Hollywood effort and now Luka Bloom’s first release for two years.
