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.
