Biography:
Luka Bloom (born 23 May 1955 as Barry Moore) is an accomplished Irish folk-rock singer-songwriter. He is also the younger brother of Irish folk singer Christy Moore.
In order to avoid the pressure of being related to Christy Moore, Bloom adopted his pseudonym. "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. Bloom is, however, very forthcoming about being Moore's brother and does not hide behind his stage name.

Luka Bloom (orig. ABBA)- Dancing Queen
This is Luka Bloom's version of Dancing Queen. If you listen to the record, he
does this in Drop D tuning, but I decided to just go with standard tuning as it
can be a pain to tune in the middle of a gig.
