We're delighted to announce Waterford singer-songwriter Tadhg Williams as our latest act on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions – streaming live on the Hot Press Instagram tonight, June 9, at 7.30pm.

Earlier this year, Tadhg release his long-awaited debut single, 'My Father's Clouds' – first performed during a support slot for Glen Hansard in Vicar Street back in 2018.

His stream-of-consciousness, character-centred storytelling nods to the best of David Keenan, while sensitive arrangements bring his acoustic guitar-led approach to emotional new heights. 'My Father's Clouds' firmly establishes the 21-year-old as one of Ireland's most thrilling emerging songwriters.

Over the last few years, Tadhg has built up a formidable reputation in the Irish music scene on the back of high-profile support slots for Glen Hansard, David Keenan, Rozi Plain and Fields. As a poet, he has also performed alongside the likes of Emmet Kirwan, Sasha Terfous, Stephen James Smith and Natalya O'Flaherty.
