	Dear (sugar-sprinkled, cinnamon, Christmassy) Cookies, It's been a while since my last mail, so I'll gather together the past few month's happenings in brief for you in a moment, but before that I must tell you about something happening tomorrow in Dublin's fair city... Tomorrow, Friday 21st December, from 2-5pm, in Marks & Spencer's, Grafton Street, Dublin 2 2FM will be broadcasting Rick O'Shea's radio show featuring performances from ... Duke Special, Cathy Davey, PJ Gallagher, Neil Delamere, and of course David Geraghty (featuring Clare Finglass & myself). Dave, Clare & myself will be playing at around 4pm (approximately - as always!). Do join us on Grafton Street if you're around, or tune in online - www.rte.ie/2fm. I'll leave everything else for the round-up. Thanks a million for all the support, emails, purchases, etc, over the past year. We're itching to get this new album on the road. Nollaig shona agus Athbhliain Nua daoibh! (Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all!) Tadhg ...and so without further ado, here's the round up : FREE TUNES To make your festive season complete, there are two FREE tunes that you must get your mittens on : 1. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! - featuring three incredibly talented musicians : Cora Venus Lunny on violin, Dave Redmond on double-bass & Colm Quearney on electric guitar. This was recorded before a live audience. Listen carefully for the penny dropping. Literally. http://www.tadhgcooke.com/ccount/cli... 2. Thank God It's Christmas - This is a cover of a Queen tune that was performed on Monday by David Geraghty, Clare Finglass and myself in Spin FM. The Breakfast Xpress show has been podcasted on iTunes, so just do a wee search for it, and you'll hear the interview and the tune. Enjoy! LIVE ON THE ORBITAL - NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD You can now listen to some new songs (taken from the Live on the Orbital recordings) on our myspace page. You can buy the whole album (in high quality mp3 format) from our online store now. We're still waiting for the Live on the Orbital film to be completed. Leaves on the line, sheep on the tracks, whatever. You decide. Anyway, in the meantime, the recordings from the show are now for sale in our online shop. Hurrah! The online shop can be found at www.tadhgcooke.com/shop So as you can see, we've launched the new Ivy Court Records shop, which now sells CDs AND mp3s. Which reminds me that CDBaby, based in Portland, Oregon, also sells mp3s now in addition to the CD sales that have made its name. You can them here : www.cdbaby.com/all/tadhgcooke DEMAND A SHOW! For those of you who'd like us to play in your area, there's a nice program called Eventful that we've placed on our myspace page. You click on the "demand it!" button, and enter the city/town or hamlet where you'd like us to play. It's an interesting way to keep track of these things. Hopefully it will help us plan our US tour when the new album comes out. www.eventful.com/tadhgcooke STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK - TEMPLE STREET HOSPITAL Dublin's FM104 have released a CD to help raise funds for Temple Street Children's Hospital (Dublin). The album is called : STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK - BEST OF UNCOVERED UNPLUGGED. It's an album of covers performed by artists including Duke Special, The Thrills, Director, Republic of Loose, Alabama 3, Natasha Bedingfield and a whole load of others. Dave Geraghty & myself performed a version of Steve Winwood's "Valerie" for the record. The album is available from : CDWorld.ie.

Tadhg Cooke : www.tadhgcooke.com Tiger Cooke : www.tigercooke.com DAVID GERAGHTY STUFF I've been touring and doing promotional work with David Geraghty's band of fine musicians up and down the country for the past few months. We racked up some serious mileage while visiting radio stations and tv stations across the land, and that was before we even set about a proper tour with the full band. Dave's album, "Kill Your Darlings", flew into the charts at number 21 and we've been stoking those coals ever since. I provide backing vocals with Clare Finglass in the group, and I throw in a wee bit of guitar too on certain tunes. It's strange taking more of a back seat (sorry!) in such a great line-up. I'm learning new tricks, which is always good. Every day's a school day, as they say. Dave is up for 2 Meteor awards by the way. You can find all the details over on his site : www.davidgeraghty.com
