Luke Flear

Luke Flear plays the Leeds Irish Centre on Saturday 31 October, with the set starting at 9:00pm in the Davitt Bar. It's a solo night, so Flear is the only name on the bill.

If you're not familiar with him, he's an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and the way he describes his own work gives you a good idea of what to expect. He talks about a style that ranges from rich, raspy vocals and roaring guitar solos to acoustic deep cuts and piano, so the set should pull from a few different places rather than sticking to one mode. That mix of the loud and the quiet is a good way to frame it: the raspy singing and the guitar solos on one end, the acoustic songs and the piano on the other.

It's the Davitt Bar inside the centre, on York Road, and the night is free, so there's no ticket to sort in advance. 9:00pm on a Saturday night puts it well into the evening, and with entry free, it's an easy one to drop into without much planning.
