Sounds Like

Dark Folk....

Tadhg Cooke’s solo debut crisscrosses so many terrains that your musical compass may quiver with the sheer magnetic challenge of Wax & Seal... Eminently likeable, utterly enviable. ****
The Irish Times

Charting a course between noir-ish torch songs and heart-on-sleeve folk-pop... An anomaly : an Irish singer who looks and sounds like nobody but himself.
Metro

His highly assured debut album "Wax & Seal" sounds as far removed from the beardy brigade of po-faced strummers as Pablo Aimar’s deft touches are from the journeymen footballers of, say, West Brom... "Wax & Seal" is a confident, impressive debut

   About Tadhg Cooke

FAQ : How is Tadhg pronounced?
Answer : It’s pronounced like "tiger" without the "er" sound".....

Born. Raised. Sang. Bought guitar. Released "The Sparks EP" myself. A-Listed on Phantom FM. Nationwide tour with Bell X1. Recorded debut album in the basement of an old townhouse in Freiburg. Released Wax & Seal in March 2005 in Ireland. Garnered many TV and Radio appearances north and south of the border later, including features on KCRW’s legendary Morning Becomes Eclectic in LA and daily spins from Gerry Anderson’s morning show on BBC Ulster.

The Irish Times said, "Tadhg Cooke’s solo debut crisscrosses so many terrains that your musical compass may quiver with the sheer magnetic challenge of Wax & Seal" and, giving it 4 stars, described the record as "eminently likeable, utterly enviable". HotPress said "Success and acclaim is very much his for the taking", and called it "a confident impressive debut". Pretended this was the plan all along. Grinned knowingly.

Released Live At Saint Kevin’s (Nov 2006), a recording of a secret living room gig, in Ireland.

Released Wax & Seal in Japan (19th November 2006).

Filmed a secret gig in London for the Japanese market ("Live On The Orbital") with amazing musicians and good friends : Dave Redmond, Colm Quearney (aka Q) and Cora Venus Lunny. The resulting film will be made available in 2008. The recordings are now available for download from the Ivy Court Records online shop under the title "Live on the Orbital".

Yes, do call in. We don't use j/cif there actually, we have a different cleaner...it is a lemon cleaner, hilariously enough.

We're talking about cream cleaner. Surely we're more interesting than that...

Lol.

Everything is an illusion on the internet.
I'm okay, how are you? I'm working in lemon at the moment, it's as enjoyable as any job of its type can be. Free crepes for me.
What are you up to this weather?

yes indeedy, opposite of uncouth! we're trying to spearhead a little lexical renaissance, feel free to join in :) We were in Dublin on Mon playing in the International Bar, brilliant tiny unplugged session,went well. Do you gig much in Dublin or mostly further afield? like Japan?! seem to be doing well for y'self in any case, keep at it! If you ever need a support act up north or in Dublin we'd be more than suitably enthused...anyhow have a good day, cheerio!
