Music on Sunday :: Luka Bloom - My Name Is Luka
Luka Bloom werd onlangs vijftig. Muziek op zondag maakt
de balans op van een halve eeuw Bloom. 'My name is Luka', een persoonlijke
documentaire over de populaire Ierse singer-songwriter. We gaan terug naar
zijn roots en bezoeken mensen en plekken die zijn leven, en de hedendaagse
Ierse muziek in het algemeen, hebben gevormd. 'My Name Is Luka' toont
Luka Bloom, de mensen die hem dierbaar zijn en de rijke natuur en cultuur
van Ierland. Hij mijmert over het verleden, het heden en de toekomst. We
oren hem zingen, en uitleggen waarover zijn songs gaan, want een lied
zonder betekenis is voor hem geen lied. Een hartverwarmende reportage,
de soundtrack van zijn leven?

MY NAME IS LUKA
Documentary by Helmut Boeijen
The Irish singer-songwriter Luka Bloom has seen Abraham this year. Helmut
Boeijen (director), Tim Klok (camera/editing) and Menno van den Berg (sound)
are making an overview of fifty years Luka Bloom through an intimite
portrait, working title 'My name is Luka'. In this personal documentary the
younger brother of Christy Moore - the most popular living Irish artist -
traces his own roots and visits the people and places that have formed his
own life in particular and contemporary Irish music in general.
This documentary can be seen as a sequal (and counterpart) of 'It's just a
band', the documentary Boeijen, Klok and van den Berg made of the Irish
guitarband The Frames and was broadcasted twice by the VPRO-program
'Vrije geluiden' (free sounds) on Netherlands 3. While that band is situated in
the capital Dublin, Luka Bloom is clearly a representative of the Irish
countryside. 'My name is Luka' shows him in the overwhelming nature and
culture well known in Ireland. Amidst the people that are precious to him.

One Faithful Harp:
The Life and Music of Thomas Moore
A documentary celebrating the life and work of Thomas Moore.
Featuring original new settings by musicians and singers including Christy
Moore, Luka Bloom, Eimear Quinn, Michael McGlynn, Steve Cooney,
Laoise Kelly, and Iarla Ó Lionárd, and unexpected archive recordings by
artists like Nina Simone and Joe Strummer of the Clash.
One Faithful Harp is a long overdue reassessment of Thomas Moore's life and
work. With contributors like Seamus Heaney, Prof. Kevin Whelan, Fintan
O'Toole, Nicholas Carolan, Dr. Gerry Lyne and others, this programme will
present the Moore repertoire in exciting - even subversive interpretations,
against a commentary which will address the controversial questions that
surround Moore.

The Minstrel Boy
by Thomas Moore
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him,
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.
"Land of song!" said the warrior bard,
"Though all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"

Celtic Grooves
Music documentary on the fusion of traditional Irish music and contemporary dance, rap, hip-hop and house music.
"From the first day of the pre-production to the first broadcast on
Irish televison, Celtic Grooves was a two year journey of filmmaking passion to find out what this new fusion of hip-hop, rap and
house with traditional Irish music was all about.
On this great journey we meet and interviewed the cool Davy Spillane, the groovy Luka Bloom, the righteous Marxman, the
"mad for it" Scary Eire, the now legendary Howie B, the "out spoken" Sinead O'Connor, the folk guru Donal Lunny, the singer &
producer Philip King and the legends of legendary music producers Denny Cordell (God rest his soul) at Island Records,
London."
