When I was talking to Luke at Upper Hutt Cossie Club, he told me about his new web-site - www.lukewhaanga.co.nz
When I asked him if there was a chance of him having a CD out, as some time, he said YES!:) He has a CD coming out in 4 months! Don't know if it will be a single or album though, forgot to ask! 
I certainly look forward to this, he's a great guy, singer and performer. Glad to hear he is working on continuing with his singing career! 
It's great to see that Luke is doing so well, I must get a hold of the cd too. He will always be my Idol despite the fact that he didnt win, and its great to see that he remains the same down-to-earth person that he was before. I see him around Stokes Valley a lot and he is just the same. The website is cool too!!
You are on my wavelength suziqt
I must play his single again
:
I sooooooo wanted Luke to win Idol - he will always be my Idol - he was my first
:
Well, I'll reply to this message - such a choice !
Agree with you so much. Love Luke and still support him and look forward to hearing more from him all the time. A great guy, really good singer and true entertainer!
I'm still 'Loyal' to Ben - but to Luke too!
You certainly must get a copy of his CD! Wonder how the sales have been for it.
Always think of a big smile when I think of Luke!
LOL! It's my clone
LOL! It's my clone

Just had a look at Luke's web-site. It's been changed a bit and updated. Number of really good pictures there, of him at places he's performed lately.
Also news that he hopes to have a CD out this year!
Luke certainly has continued to look forward and continue to do what he loves - singing and entertaining!
Are you going Loyal?
No I'm not. Last time I want there it was a Sunday afternooon. It's quite a long trip for me, and not easy on a Friday - especially with the bad conditions around at the moment - and work the next day!
Like to think someone from here will though, and tell us about it.
Luke at Cossie Club, Upper Hutt tomorrow. Really recommend anyone going who lives down Wellington way. He really is very good to listen to and watch!
Good chance to hear his single 'live' too I'd imagine!
See he's a guest judge at Talent Search at North Shore Shopping Centre on 16th July!
Delighted with my Luke CD that has arrived!
Fantasic job - he's written the music and lyrics and as well as singing, plays guitar and lead guitar!
Love the packaging too - including the signing of it!
Good luck with it Luke - wish you every success!
Luke says he's still recording and has a second single underway! :)
Great to be able to keep up with what he'd doing - and that he's willing to keep in touch!
Shows what an assett having a web-site is! :D
Luke's CD came today - Woop woop :D
It's beautiful - very reggae - Luke wrote it and plays lead guitar - it's so polished and professional - I love it - had to take UB40 out to play it and it would go well on an album of theirs :) I was hoping that Sitting Inside my Head might be on there as well - but I have that on video
It just happened that my daughter brought my mother's day present over when I got home from work today - that overshadowed Lukes song........ she had written and recorded a song for me - about me......... man it's beautiful *cries*
Really looking forward to getting my copy!
Doing well Luke is - one of the few 'Idols' to record and release a single! :) Good luck to him with it! Wonder if he's managed to get any radio play down in Wellington.
What a very special Mothers Day present - that's certainly something you'll treasure!
Loving the CD cover pic Luke.! I'll have to buy that now then, won't I ;) to go with my Ben and Rosita stuff. Must get Nik's work too. I've got the Single and Album of Ben and Rosita, got to get your Single, and Nik's and I just wish that gorgeous diva woman, Sela, would hurry up and come out with something hot now too.
Keep it going with your music hard out Luke and Kia Kaha. You rock!
Great to have an ex-Idol that we can actually write to, too, and have respond to us.
wow, about time - thanks Loyal
Luke's new original CD single 'My Girl' - Released April 2006.
'Click' on the CD cover for details
Click on picture, and it will take you to his web-site and you can hear a clip, also order from there.
CHOICE :D *Goes and checks out the clip*
.......... and ordered it
Sounds very Katchafire.
Luke's web-site shows pictures of him recording his next single 'My Girl', no details of release though. Wonder if that will get played on the radio! Certainly hope so!
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
If you e-mail him via his web-site, he's likely to reply to you in person. That'll be even more OMG!
Hi there Loyal - and happy new year hugs -
hmmmmm Kogs is taking the mickey here with his omg's - now if it was Michael Jackson we were talkin' bout here - that would be a different story
Hi Ev, happy New Year to you too!
Micky or not, doesn't matter if it keeps the interest going in Luke! If people want to talk about him, he won't get forgotten, if people do e-mail him, he'll know we're still interested in what he's doing!
ditto omg's :D ......... I would go if it was in Auckland - and I know nothing about rugby sevens .......... omg
lmao
OMG! I only just found this. HOW EXCITING!!!!
Woot!
*bops*
More appearances coming up for Luke - details on his web-site!
He's going to the Sevens! I'm flag bearing at that
Let us know all about how Luke goes Luvz! He's a really good singer, and comes across so well! :) Maybe you'll get to say hello, give him love from us Idolbloggers!
I certainly will, if I get the chance!!
Info about more appearances by Luke on his web-site. Few more for this year, all in the Wellington region.
Good that he's getting singing gigs - and that he has a web-site where we can find out about them now!
Got an e-mail from Luke today saying thanks for travelling from Palmy to see the show and how it was great to get together again with Ben & Robin!
Isn't that soooo nice of him - to do that. Great to be able to get in touch with him - and have him reply!
Another thing to be added to an already fantastic week - and it's only the third day!
Wowee I got an email back from Luke too - a wonderful surprise! *Bops*
Heck I saw him in the audience at the Final last night - his smile stood out like a beacon - I waved to him
Gosh he is doing a gig at Mohaka - maybe he has something planned with Rongo ? Hope someone fills us in on how that goes - wish I could go too !
Speaking about the gig at Mohaka, did anybody round here actually go, and can tell us about it?!
II also noticed him in the audience last night, its always good to see him, I still think he shouldve won last year and that our Mayor of Mohaka Rongo shouldve won this year. I would love to see Luke and Rongo on stage together too, they would really rock!!!
I saw him in the audience a few times too, I kept saying to hubby -'look there's Luke'! and pointing at him!
I saw the gig at Mohaka, and wondered if that will be with Rongo, what a great pair they'll make together. That gig will be fun, really entertaining!! Love to go also!
Seems funny, everyone talking about Nik & Rosita, and we're here going on about Luke!
Did Robin sing? I would have loved to see that...
Yes, read my report in this forum!
Forgot to add, it was also Luke's birthday yesterday, and everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. You can now send him a belated Happy Birthday message direct!
He was great! I was thinking of both of you when he was sitting casually across the table from me, chatting and laughing, I was also wishing you could have been there, and how how envious you'd be!
More comments in his fan-club. Unfortunately, I now realise it won't come to the top any more, but you can still talk there!
I did tell him we're still here supporting him though!
:$ I just sent my first eva fan-email *Bops like a teenybopper*
A zillion thanks Loyal
Me too!
He'll be happy to know he has supporters here! That he's not forgotten! Never mind about the Idols this year. I'll stick to mine from last year!
I totally agree with you, Luke will never ever be forgotten, he's way too good for that, The idols this year didnt come anywhere near Luke's standard!!
OMG finally..Thanks Loyal for this info
This is sad
really...
I just went to the site what happened to his song?
i even went to buy his CD.. didnt work 
and the studio he worked in was a garage 
any one know of more recent links for idols season 1 ?
Oh THANK YOU so much LOYAL - Luke still lights my fire - was so envious reading your post that you were going to see him perform - now I'm so grateful that you did - YAY - best Idol news - EVA !!
