He’s regularly played in local covers bands on the local circuit, along with releasing his first solo album back in 2010. This was a huge success, and he went on to form and start the Local originals band “Meister” . Here his world was opened up to touring and playing festivals and after 6 years the band has been put on hold due to members leaving and family lives taking lead.
Since the band has been on hold, Luke has been working on his back catalogue of songs and accompanying local musicians to work on these with him. Working alongside local film and video producer talent Lee Mcqueen, there are some new and fantastic music videos to be released this year going into the next.
