Discography
The Acoustic Motorbike - 1992
Reviews
It's obvious from the first listen that this is a totally different recording in the imagery, the style, and the mix of songs. With this recording, he has come closer to the energy and intensity of his live performances, without the distracting applause and imperfections of a true live recording. Put it on. "

Sleeve Notes
For the best part of four years I had worked in the U.S., Canada and Europe. So, in 1991 I wanted to spend as much time in Ireland as possible. In January and February I visited Spanish Point in County Clare and wrote songs in Johnny Burke's cottage and the People's Hostel. I cycled in Kerry and wrote "The Acoustic Motorbike".
Dublin is hopping in 1991. Tucked away in Temple Bar, Dublin, Paul Barrett is producing great music in S.T.S. Studios, above Claddagh Records. The constant presence of bands writing and rehearsing in Temple Bar "Village" provided the perfect setting to get stuck in. With Paul, Meabh, Louise and Sean at S.T.S. keeping an eye on me, I sang away to my heart's content. Various Irish friends joined in with two American friends (Bob and Ed) and we had a great time.
Gary Murphy watched quietly over us in the studio. Fiona Belton's great food filled and thrilled us. Let me also thank Poll Moussilides, who taught me how to breathe. Muddy Fox provided the Acoustic Motorbike. Sandycove Cycles maintain it. The list of people helping these wheels turn is literally endless.
God Bless you all. Pedal On.
Love, Luka
