A whisper from the heart becomes A SECOND WIND
"My 24th recording arrives this May 2025, a collection of songs born where
7the land meets the sea in Clare. From BIRDSONG, BIRDMAN to BE STILL NOW,
these 12 offerings celebrate the wild wisdom that lives underfoot and the hunger
that rides the incoming tide.
The stillness of herons, the dance of waves, and the kindness we owe each other –
all find their voice here.
Simple recordings. Just voice, guitar, and the occasional breath of wind.
Welcome to the world, A Second Wind!"
"23rd of May, 2025 is a special day.
I will release my 24th record on the day of my 70th Birthday.
There was a little doubt in 2024 that I would see my 70th year.
24 days in hospital, an open-heart operation in November ’24, has given me a second wind, and a new lease of life……
In the months before going to hospital, I wrote and recorded 11 songs and 2 instrumentals, in the hope that I would get to see my 70th year.
And so it is……
The record is called A SECOND WIND, and is dedicated to the surgeon, the doctors, the anaesthetist, the nurses who kept me alive last year.
And the family and friends who supported me during this time.
There will be some shows, when I am a little stronger.
A SECOND WIND can be pre-ordered at

As usual, the first 500 copies will be signed.
Thank you, more than ever, thank you,"
Luka Bloom
