Not only does Tadhg Cooke write and perform his own music, he plays the banjo, dobra and bazouki as well. It all began with one gig in Paris. He has since secured a recording label in Japan, and has been described as 'an Irish singer who looks and sounds like nobody but himself'. His music can be classed as 'dark folk' and he's certainly a character on the Irish scene worth checking out. Catch him here on O2 Making Waves talking to Claire O'Dowd, and feel free to email any comments on Tadhg Cooke and the show to [email protected]
