Luke Wallace’s planet-kind songs, arranged for community choirs by Shawn Kirchner, are currently being sung by 85 choirs across the world. Luke brings a fun, uplifting style of teaching all centred on a message of collective action and people power. He uses both his original songs and a selection from his favourite eco songwriters to craft a choral experience that is uniquely moving and inspiring.
“Luke is the perfect antidote to the despair and chaos of our times. ” – Left Coast Labour Chorus
Through several timely mutual connections, Songways learned Luke’s song, Easy on the Earth, arranged for choir by Shawn Kirchner and Luke came to sing with Songways in March 2025… an inspiring an uplifting experience for us all. We are delighted to welcome Luke to Bath for a full day singing workshop and concert.
“Luke is like a modern Pete Seeger. From the moment he hits the stage, he has the audience singing about positive change. We desperately need that and we need him on stages all across our country right now! He doesn’t back down but he doesn’t alienate people either. He’s a perfect voice for right now.” – Doug Cox
