“One day or another, Cormac O Caoimh will be unanimously considered one of the greatest melodists in the history of pop-music” - Le Village Pop “Acoustic Gems from the Cork singer-songwriter. Each song superglues to the memory "4 STARS - Mojo Magazine Cormac is will be releasing his 7th studio album (heartbreakers) in November this year. The previous two albums (Where the world begins & Swim Crawl Walk Run) were both album of the week on RTE Radio 1 and Marty in the Morning on Lyric fm and many many more.He has had over 20 songs on the RTE Recommends list the past few years reaching over 10 million listeners on Irish radio.  His past 4 albums charted on the official IRMA Irish charts and he has had many singles that received the most monthly (and yearly) on Irish radio. He embarked on a never ending “gig a month forever” tour in 2023 where he has sold out venues (like Coughlans and Little Whelans) but also brought his music and stories to less traditional venues (like art galleries and sweet shops and ice cream parlours. The “never ending tour” ended in June 2026 so he could plan the release (and accompanying tour) of the new 'heartbreakers album in Nov 2026. The “gig a month” forever tour has begun againCormac's intimate vocals, magical melodies and exquisite guitar playing has always attracted very favourable appeal to critics (with Mojo, The Irish Times, HotPress, R2, Americana UK, OndaRock in Italy and many more)always quick to point to his unique style as well as comparisons to acts varying from the dreamy pop of The Go Betweens, Badly Drawn Boy, Elliott Smith and Prefab Sprout to the introspective and more folk-oriented Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon.All depends on what mood he is in on the night but it is always a great show with laughter, stories and song. + guest Justin Cullen
