"When someone tells you that you've got to hear an up and coming guitarist and singer/songwriter you might make a mental note to check them out.
When the person making that recommendation is Steve Knightley, you get home and start checking out the internet.It wasn't long before I found myself sitting down at my computer listening to a couple of songs that pretty much explained why Steve Knightly highly recommends Luke Jackson.
He's an impressive singer/songwriter with a really powerful and distinctive voice and guitar style"
"Our good friends at Folk In The Barn down in Canterbury and others have been singing his praises for some time but I was still taken aback by the sheer power of his voice and the maturity of his lyrics.
He’s a pleasure to work with too so you can be sure that he’ll be back at Rugby Roots at some point"

What a talent.
The first time I heard you was at Greenbelt at the Rising in August and then again at the Performance Café. Your EP had sold out so I hunted you down on the internet and have been following you on youtube ever since. You are brilliant. Your writing is so unique, fresh and exciting. You are so relevant and I totally get what you are singing about. Your vocals/guitar skills are amazing as well. The thing I'm struck by the most is the maturity of your writing. Keep going! Am loving hearing all your songs.x
oh my lord!
you are so good!
i really love your music
and you
I saw you perform at Greenbelt's Performance Cafe. You were great!
hey :D heard you singing at g-music at greenbelt then when i heard you were going to sing at the performace cafe the next day i dragged my mates there to see you sing! i have a mate called emily sargant who also has an ep and does the same kind of style as you. she also has written a few songs too. look for her on facebook. we are from haworth, in west yorkshire. hope you can get an ep... she is amazing! anyway, really glad we saw you at greenbelt and hope you continue at song writing. from molly upton (13). :D
Hey Luke, I think your amazing... I saw you live and Im now an official fan! I think your gorgeous and lovley... Keep singing! :D xxxx
Hi Luke,
I saw you play at the GreenBelt festival , you were amazinggggg :D xx
Hi Luke,
Saw you play at Holy Moly's in Bedford on Wednesday evening. My husband was also playing after a silence of 20 years. He was rather nervous! You were kind enough to come speak with us after his gig. I didn't get the chance to tell you how good you were. You were so confident, so accomplished as a musician and delightful to meet. I particularly liked the song you wrote and dedicated to your grandmother.
I didn't realise that you knew Martyn Joseph as well as Steve Knightley.
Keep on doing what you're doing. Such talent!
Good luck.
Jane Haslam
Hi Luke. Great site and great songs. I saw you play at Grubs Cafe in East Grinstead a year or so back and was most impressed. Keep up the good work.
Are you playing this way again in the near future?

Hi Luke, just looked at your youtube videos beacuse my mum saw you at sidmouth with Steve Knightley and thought you were great! I love your songs and your voice is beautiful! My mum especially likes Bakers Wood and I love Jackson Boy. We hope to see you at a festival sometime! :)
hi Luke, I'm Astouline I'm 15 and I live in Ghana (west Africa). I came across one of your videos while searching for guitar tutorials of Rolling in the Deep, then went on to listen to your other videos. I was really inspired by all your songs, I love your voice and the power in it, I also love the songs you wrote and especially liked Boy in the Rain and Dancing Gerard (I haven't had time yet to listen to all the songs you wrote but I'm about to!). I'm going to continue watching your videos, they're really inspiring - i like singing as well and play piano, guitar and am learning the cora (an african instrument), also love musical theatre and theatre in general. You have a lot of talent and I admire you although I don't know you :)
Keep singing, you're really great and inspirational :D
Hey Luke,
Thankyou so much for a great gig last night, especially for singing Cousin Jack.
Proper Job
Go gently
Pete
great gig in Ashford tonight

Hi Luke,
Heard your first set at the Balmoral Wine Bar in Broadstairs last night and you never fail to disappoint. Awesome songs and an awesome voice. Remember Broadstairs when you are rich and famous and see you in Folk Week. Kevin and Jan
Hi Luke I saw you at Abbotsbury and I thought you were really cool. I want to learn the guitar like you. And I really liked the song Run and Hide. Do you have the chords for that and my mum can help me learn it. Thanks Jonty (aged 7)
hey this is brill AND I THINK U'RE SO FIT
Saw you in Abbotsbury last night at the Show of Hands concert, you were amazing! You had the whole audience in the palm of your hand. I hope to see you perform again. Keep playing and writing!
Saw you at Abbotsbury yesterday and you caused a big stir. Wow! You were GOOD! Everyone back at the campsite and my buddies were all saying you was the hit of the Fest! Well done, mate! Will be looking our for you again and following your progress. Thanks for signing the EP.
going to watch you at abbotsbury tomorrow! cant wait. <3
Would love to hear you cover Love is stronger than death by Matt Johnson/ The The.
Hey Luke. So, I found your videos on YouTube when i was searching for Pyro by Kings Of Leon. I listened to your vids for a good part of the night. Ever since then i listen to them all the time. I have them on my ipod and as a favorite on my youtube channel. Not only do you choose great songs, you also have an amazing voice. I'm in Choir. Have been for 6 years. By listening to your song, "I need a Dollar" ( Favorite song ) I have stretched my vocal ability by half an octave. Anyways. Thanks for being a role model. Maybe hope to hear from you? Sean Heath
Your an inspiration to us to always be ternacious.
Hi, saw you on May 1st at the sweeps festival for the first time. thought you were really great hope to hear more of your music soon.
Hey Luke.....
Thanks for playing my stage at Sweeps Festival, stunning performance... Seems a long time now since Wired in Broadstairs huh ?? You are a breath of creative and talented fresh air in a world swamped with young artists hell bent on power chords, growling vocals and anger without reason........See you on the road. . Lee
Hey Luke! I saw you at the Vibe Bar in Brick Lane, and I just fell in love with your music! I love Dancing Gerrard! I hope i didn't squeal too loudly when you announced the title :) wishing you all the best on your musical journey xxx
Hey Luke- You have developed into an astounding artist. x
thanks for coming to hospital radio saturday
you were fantastic
When most artists your age are only doing covers, you are already a talented writer and performer. I want my whole family to meet you. We look forward to seeing Luke Paul Jackson for many years to come.
Great new playlist! Listened to you on the radio this evening. I enjoyed listening to your new songs. Looking forward to receiving the cd when you send it to me. Have a great week!
Ed
Absolutely beautiful work, sir!!!
Loving the site mate . . hard at work I see . . as per normal! :)
Just saw Luke at Rugby supporting Steve Knightley, absolutely love him. and bought the CD. Sorry if it spoils your street cred Luke but I am 61 years old. My daughter is a Seth Lakeman fan but wait till I tell my grandaughter about Luke - I can see we will be going to Luke's gigs together in the future. Thanks for a great night.
Hi from Brazil, we really like your music, it's very good! Sucess in 2011!!!
Just stopped by to have a look at Luke Jackson's website and I must say I approve! :)
Speaking from the perspective of somebody who has been envolved with the Acoustic music scene for a number of years I can say that Luke has the talent, attitude and drive to succeed and he is in the enviable position of having started out on his quest early! best wishes to him!
Luke has renewed my interest in Folk/roots music. Im sure there are others who will find this true also. I think people who never liked this kind of music in the first place will find their music horizons widened by this tremendous artists music. Amazing music by an Amzing artist.
AMAZING! AMAZING! You're incredible!
Luke - outstanding showcase slots at the Hailsham Pavilion Spyboy 10 year all dayer yesterday. Control, passion and that cathedral of a voice - great stuff
just saw you oppisite the commond house loved you. It was great :)x
You were good at Herne Bay, Blown me away with your lyrics and voice at only 16.
really enjoyed your set on herne bay seafront yesterday - 'dock of the bay' and 'beat it'; hope you get some more gigs in our town soon.
Saw Luke at the Herne Bay Festival 28 Aug 2010.
Sheer brilliance!!!!
Just seen you in Herne Bay. Good as ever. I WILL continue to ask for "Too Young To Tour" until I beat you into submission (if you don't mind!).
Good lck at Deal tomorrow. I can't make it, but I've been spreading the word at work, and I know a few colleages will be there on the strength of what I've said.
Just saw you at Herne bay Festival, you were amazing! You are one of my favourite artists now! I love Kings of the School Bus! xx
Just seen you down at Herne Bay Festival. WOW!!!! what an AMAZING voice and talent. I shall look out for you again. stunned and overwhelmed at such a young boy having such great possibilities ahead of him!

Hey Luke,
I saw you play tody at the bandstand in Broadstairs and i was absolutely blown away by your voice, your guitar playing and your immense skills as a songwriter. I loved Bakers Woods and Too young to tour (is that right?).

I hope to see you play again someday!

Hello Luke,
I was in the audience in The Space at Stainsby this weekend. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your songs. I am going to play some of them to my class of Y3/Y4 children at school this afternoon. You are a fine role model for youngsters and a great example of what can be achieved with dedication (and the raw talent to begin with of course! I shall watch your career with interest and look forward to your CD when it comes out.

HI Luke. We were in Rochester for the weekend to visit our daughter and grand daughter. We went for a walk along the river in Chatham and discovered there was a stage set up. We weren't very interested in the music until we walked back and heard you and your music and loved you. We are always looking for new musicians and you are truly amazing. We look forward to hearing more of you and will certainly buy your album. God bless
Lynette & Brian Phillips ( retrired teachers)
