Luka Bloom on Tour 2018 (UK, Germany)

So far this year, I've been singing in Australia, as well as a few gigs in the UK, Holland and Belgium. I am so blessed.
But there is nothing so exciting to me as a poster announcing an Irish tour. This is the first time in 6 years I am doing a tour of Ireland. It is happening because of Frugalisto, my new record. I loved recording it in Timoleag
ue, County Cork. I love the songs and can't wait to sing them in Cork, Kerry, Galway, Kildare, Waterford, Ennis......North, south, east and west.
A big thank you to Martin Nolan and MPI Bands who made this tour possible.
Am in serious training in The People's Republic of North Clare, and cannot wait to hit the road for this great adventure.

Some happy news for me. On April 27, 2018, I will begin another German tour with my friend Karsten Jahnke, who has brought me to Germany for 25 years now.
The first show is on the wonderful Kulturkirche in Koln. Love it.
The last show is in the amazing Music Hall in the lovely village of Worpswede. It is such a privilege to get to sing in Germany. All the venues are top. The promoters want to make the show special and the people really love the songs and music.
The Tour is c...alled The Refuge Tour, to support my new record REFUGE, now available on www.lukabloom.com

Below is a photo of the backstage bar in The Music Hall in Worpswede. After soundcheck we all sit there and eat some food and imagine the night ahead.
Worpswede is a village of poets and artists, not far from Bremen. It is home to many good and interesting characters. It will be great to see everyone in Germany in Springtime.

Bis bald........

This was the last gig of the tour. It was a really great one. They began at 10:20 pm and played until 1:00 am. Wow! Powerful 2 Sets. They had to change the setlist due to technical problems. Andy and the guys played an acoustic set and after everything was fixed, Andy said: "Who needs electricity?" Dave Bronze responded immediately: "You need it!" Everbody laughed.
Then came a 20 minute brake and we could get a drink and spoke to some people we met there.
The band came back on stage and played another set filled with energy. And they changed the setlist again due to an unexpected brake in the middle of the second set. Andy said, that he has never been on stage until 1:00 am. His flight was 7:30 am and the audience said: "So there is plenty of time to entertain us" Haha!
After the gig Andy, Nick, Dave and Paul signed some autographs.
Hope to see this band again really soon.
