LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Good Seed PR) O Caoimh, a singer songwriter from Cork, Ireland, has picked up some well-known admirers along the way including Ron Sexsmith and Tom Robinson (BBC) and has supported fellow luminaries;
Damien Rice (in the Paradiso, Amsterdam),
Declan O Rourke, Josh Rouse, Mark Geary, Nick Kelly, Miles Hunt and
Damien Dempsey to name but a few. He also ventured further afield playing headlining gigs and slots in Edinburgh, London, Amsterdam and New York. His solo live performances vary between fast and frenetic indie-pop acoustic guitar playing, slower tunes heavily influenced by his classical guitar playing background and jazz influenced folk music tunes.
An admirable songsmith, each track from his forthcoming album "A New Season For Love" contains a catchiness and accessibility at their core that outweigh any stylistic definition. Though he may be likened to the hypnotic Nick Drake, or the inverse Elliot Smith; it is his slow and gradual soft low-key vocal delivery that inspires repeat listens.

March 1st - Gulpd cafe, Cork
