Luke Aylward

In the summer of 2004, a wide-eyed kid stood under festival lights watching the cool kids play guitars and hearing Chris Martin’s voice soar through the night air. That was the moment it all changed. From that point on, music wasn’t just a hobby, it was a calling. Twenty years later, Luke Aylward still carries that same fire into every performance, and it only burns brighter with time. Growing up with severe dyslexia, the path wasn’t easy. But where words sometimes failed, music never did. Fueled by passion, persistence, and the support of an incredible community, Luke earned a music degree specialising in guitar and went on to perform in cities like Amsterdam, Zurich, New York, and Nashville. He is classically trained, commercially versatile, and delivers a sound that is rich, nuanced, and always deeply felt. What truly sets Luke apart is his ability to listen. Not just musically, but emotionally. If the room wants to dine and unwind, he will weave in soft, tasteful arrangements. If the crowd wants to sing at the top of their lungs or dance like no one is watching, he will lift the energy and fill the space with anthems and joy. Every performance is attuned to the audience, every song played with intention. He doesn’t play to himself, he plays for the people in front of him. Luke doesn’t just bring music to your event, he brings heart, humour, and a genuine connection that guests remember long after the last chord rings out. If you want more than just background music, if you want someone who truly understands people, lifts the room, and delivers a unique, memorable experience, you have just found your guy.
