In 1987, the alias Luka Bloom was born. Barry Moore the younger brother of singer Christy Moore moved to America and decided to reinvent himself using a new name for his new country and new fans. The name ‘Luka’ came from the song, My Name is Luka, by Suzanne Vega and Bloom came from the main character in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Bloom commented: “I made a conscious decision before I went to America to create a solo performance that would be exciting and relevant to rock audiences. I also decided that I was going to create an audience for myself, without the help of record companies.” In 1988, he released his self-titled ‘Luka Bloom’ album which announced his new stage name to the world. With a new name and a new decade looming, Bloom was ready to take on the world. When he was on the plane to New York he practiced saying: “Hi My name is Luka Bloom, I’d like to play here. ”https://youtube/watch?v=D7oXxSRYH7U
