   About Cormac O Caoimh

“The next big export from Ireland” – Music Emissions

“O Caoimh mixes pop sensibility with finely tuned song writing wrapping it all up in his soft melodic confidence and sharp lyrical commentary”
– Hot Press

“There is a lot of good stuff at the moment people like Damien Rice and David Kitt and I got cd from Cork which I really like.”
– Ron Sexsmith

Cormac played three successful showcase gigs at the London Calling Festival (July 2006) and performed for the first time at one of Ireland's premier festivals - The Hard Working CLass Heroes Festival- in October 2006. He has supported Damien Rice (in the Paradiso, Amsterdam), Josh Rouse, Declan O Rourke, Mundy, Emmett Tinley, Mark Geary, Nick Kelly, Miles Hunt and Damien Dempsey to name but a few. He was previously singer-songwriter with The Citadels, who list Ron Sexsmith and Tom Robinson (BBC) among their admirers.

2007 proved to be so far his busiest year to date. He was invited to perform at the Canadian Music Festival in Toronto in March, and received a glowing review from Canada’s premier music mag Chart Attack (visit: http://www.cormaco.net for the full review). In August Cormac released his debut album "Start a spark" and embarked on a nationwide tour of Ireland in August and dates in the UK and Amsterdam in September. “Start a spark” received great reviews in Ireland’s premier music magazine Hot Press, The Big Take Over Magazine in New York and countless others in Ireland, the UK, Amsterdam and Canada.

Start a spark reviews:
Luminous front man Cormac O Caoimh releases his first solo album. More than your typical singer-songwriter, O Caoimh mixes pop sensibility with finely tuned song writing wrapping it all up in his soft melodic confidence and sharp lyrical commentary
Hot Press 09/08/2007

“Corkman O Caoimh manages to avoid several of the pitfalls one would normally assocate with Irish singer-songwriters on his debut solo record. For much of the album, he sounds more like an indie-pop artist than an acoustic troubadour. ‘Deep Sea Diving has a light dreamy melody reminiscent of The Sundays, while the sweet boy-girl interplay of ‘Ghosts’ calls to mind Yo La Tengo and The Delgados.”
Hot Press 26/07/2007

an assortment of delicious summer-kissed pop songs with instantly catchy, agreeable melodies infused with Cormac’s poetic sensibility
Partyinkingston.com, Canada


'The Citadels' were a terrific band from Cork(Ireland) ; sadly they are no more. Luckily, we have this new solo album from the Citadels front man. Admirers of Prefab Sprout , Roddy Frame, or Damien Rice will likely devour this record. Cormac's lyrics are whip-smart,and his easy-going vocal style grabs the attention. From the punchy title track, all the way to the wonderful closing duet ('If You Feel') this record is a cut above,and deserves to be widely heard.
The Big TakeOver Magazine, New York

“Start a Spark,” from Cormac o Caoimh, is an album from the ex-singer/songwriter of The Citadels. This solo performer brings a bevy of musical talent to the table with his varied vocal timbres and rhythms; listeners will be dazzled by this album from start to finish
CelebrityCafe

Start A Spark is the fruit of his labor and quite an impressive work as well. The music has feet in both the pop territory as well as the roots side of things. There is no reason why Cormac shouldn't be the next big export from Ireland.
Music Emmissions

“Lazy Gazing has ‘Summer radio hit’ written all over it. ‘View of the World” brings to mind Elvis Costello when he was still young and angry, and ‘Miles of Sky” sounds a lot like Tom Robinson. The album closes with “If you Feel” - a melodic pop-jazz duet with a very catchy progression. Lyrically it’s a charming sentimental love song in the mode of Bill Withers “Lean on Me”. This album grows on you like a virulent rash and is going from the review stack to my personal collection.”
Musican.ie

“the entire collection of songs .. a Spark is uplifting and danceable with poetic lyrics that are just marvelously outstanding.”
Indie Music Stop

“Singer-Songwriter Cormac O Caoimh has crafted a superb collection of acoustic melodies on his debut album "Start a spark .”
