Tadhg Cooke is one of Irelands most interesting emerging recording artists. A seasoned performer, Cooke has shared the stage with the cream of the Irish crew - Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Mundy, Mark Geary, Damien Dempsey, Gerry Fish and The Walls. He has also completed a nationwide tour with BellX1. Cooke's “confident impressive debut” (HotPress), Wax & Seal, was well received in Ireland and led to a host of TV appearances, national and local radio sessions and excellent press coverage throughout 2005. The twelve-track debut features buoyant lyrics, that remain at arm's length from melancholia, realised by unique gentle vocals. Cooke's jazz-tinged acoustic pop has been described as “eminently likeable, utterly enviable” by The Irish Times.

SOME REVIEWS
------------
Comparisons can be odious, but think Badly Drawn Boy crossed with Gallagher & Lyle, with a tincture of John Lennon tossed in for good measure, and permit yourself the wryest of smiles. Tadhg Cooke's solo debut crisscrosses so many terrains that your musical compass may quiver with the sheer magnetic challenge of Wax & Seal. It's the sleight of hand in his wordplay that charms. A computational linguist, Cooke gets his kicks by applying a distinctly poetic sensibility to the music: placing the right words in the right order. George's St Arcade is the stuff of magical maudlin bedsitland; Sparks is drawn from the same word well as Arthur Riordan's Improbable Frequency. Eminently likeable, utterly enviable.
"Wax & Seal" review - Siobhán Long, The Irish Times (The Ticket), 18th March 2005
So Saturday begins, again at The Olympia, this time with Tadhg Cooke. Cooke's voice immediately grabs you. Soft yet strong, it's got that Jeff Buckley quality to it that most vocalists crave. Given a fair wind, he could soon be looking to headline this venue next year.
