about
Songwriter Luke Hirst is influenced by the likes of The Beach Boys, The Flaming Lips & Weezer. His five year stint at Leeds College of Music has resulted in a BTEC National Diploma and a 1st Class BA Honours Degree, alongside Luke’s unique radio-friendly sound. December 2004 saw the release of Luke’s debut single on Heliotone records, which sold out on pre-orders and he hasn’t looked back since. . Luke has played hundreds of gigs including 02 Wireless Festival 2007, Bradford’s St George’s Hall and London’s City Showcase where Newton Faulkner supported him. Luke has shared bills and stages with The White Stripes, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Thrills and Air, along with TV coverage from the BBC, and airplay from XFM, Kerrang & BBC Raw Talent. This year anticipates the release of Luke’s debut album ‘Surfing Over The Sun’. The album is self produced with the majority of the music arranged and played by Luke. Sparkling with imagination, ‘Surfing Over The Sun’ is already causing a stir on the local scene and promises to make 2010 Luke’s biggest year to date. US music magazine Losing Today summed it up best ‘A star in the making, don’t rule against it.’ User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
