Waterford artist Tadhg Williams launches latest project in hometown
Tadhg Williams album launch at Luca Records & Decks
Local artist Tadhg Williams recently unveiled his latest project, ‘This Record is a Nixer’, at Luca Records and Decks, Waterford, after almost three years since he last released any music.
Tadhg is a local Déise performer who is described as "valuing community and togetherness above all else".
His live shows have been described as "amazing and profoundly personal", while his songs have become known for their honest, challenging lyricism, and heart-on-sleeve melodies.
Having previously endeared himself to a significant fanbase, selling out shows in Dublin and Waterford and earning opportunities to perform in venues such as Vicar St. and Waterford's Theatre Royal, he built up a loyal fanbase on the contemporary Irish music scene.
His previous releases, notably, ‘My Father’s Clouds’ and ‘The Summer Song’, earned significant media attention, with renowned music journalist Tony Clayton-Lea describing the tracks as "cinematic quality that speak certain truths from the heart and soul".
In those three years, Tadhg worked to develop his craft, both in songwriting and his live performances, completing an undergraduate degree in history, which he says has been a huge source of inspiration for much of his latest material.
He has also supported a variety of acts from Mary Black and The Stunning, to Kingfisher and Niamh Regan. He played a set at Glastonbury Festival, and embarked on a small Irish tour to road-test a selection of new songs, before going into the studio with producer, Geoff Warner-Clayton to further develop and record some of these tracks.
His latest project, ‘This Record is a Nixer’, is the culmination of that work and is available to purchase and stream now.
The launch took place on December 13, at Luca Records and Decks on Michael Street, in Waterford City.
