The first line about being accomplished boarders on the apologetic. I've seen the lad in concert he is an Irish folk-rock singer-songwriter beyond question. I won't change it because I wonder about the turn of phrase and the authors reasons.

Live Concerts

I've seen Luka many times and to my knowledge and experience he does NOT play songs people in the audience request. He can even start talking about a song and somebody shout out the name of that song, and Luka change the story over to another song. I've talked to other people that have been follow him over the years and they confirm this. FreddyFred 10:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

What's a "chancer", where's "Newbo" and how was his bullshit pseudonym characteristic? Let's make this sound more like an encyclopedia article, please. -Freekee (talk) 05:14, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like vandalism by an anonymous user - I've reverted it ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 09:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of name

I've added a "citation needed" tag to the lines ' "Luka" is taken from the title of Suzanne Vega's song "Luka" about child abuse and "Bloom" refers to the main character in James Joyce's Ulysses' - the whole thing sounds plausible, but a link to an interview or similar confirming this would be good ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's also mentioned on his website. I added the reference.Auroreborealle (talk) 23:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a rewrite of the article conforming to reliable sources (only one so far). In any case, and please let me know if this is not the correct way to do it, I have started the article off by referring to him as Moore (real name), and then when he was given the pseudonym, as Luka Bloom (full artist name).
