Their highly energetic show has been well received across Ireland and the UK festival circuits with slots Electric Picnic, Body & Soul, Bray Jazz Festival, Latitude, Stendhal and main stage slots at Forbidden Fruit and Life Festival. Further sold out headline shows in Dublin’s Grand Social and Lost Lane and also Limerick’s Prima Volta have cemented Cooks as a fundamental live act to the Irish music scene.

Rachel Mae Hannon is a soulful vocalist, a multi-instrumentalist, a songwriter and producer from Monaghan but living in Dublin. Her sound has been described as where pop meets neo-soul. The low range of her vocals and her eloquent use of harmonies gives her a distinctive soul pop sound. Rachel dueted with Danny O’Reilly from The Coronas as part of RTÉ’s The Main Stage, ‘Unseen Songs’ and performed on RTÉ One’s New Year’s Eve Show hosted by Jenifer Zamperelli who suggested Rachel as being ‘tipped for international stardom’ in 2023.’
