She performed at various festivals in May 2013 she released her debut album “Week Of Pines” recorded with David Wrench in Snowdonia’s Bryn Derwen Studios.

I am so excited about this album with a wonderous voice and a collection of truly excellent songs, Luke’s recent live shows have been a experience of joy and heartbreak in the passion he puts into the songs.
