You May Remember This

Jack Lukeman & The Black Romantics – Jackie

Continuing our series of underrated Irish music since 1960, readers SOQ and Burgess, snip, snip fondly recall the suave crooner Jack L (born Sean Loughman) and his band who introduced a whole new generation to the music of Belgian torch singer Jacques Brel.

Jackie is taken from the album Wax, which was recorded live in 1995 at the DA Club, off Clarendon Street, Dublin.

Jack’s most recent album was The Lockdown Sessions released earlier this year.

Nick says: L’s bells.

      Nope. All ego. But understandable. The DA club was an unbelievable back in the day and their shows were incredible.
      Was at a few parties back in the day and got to know him a bit. So, yeah, ego, swagger, confidence and talent. Surprised he never made it bigger internationally.

      Guys an exceptional singer with some great songs. Not sure why you’d think he was a parody act? Saw him a good few times but his Jacques Brel tribute about 15 years ago at the Academy back when it was called something else (anyone remember what?) was especially fun.
