 Cooke teamed up with bassist David Redmond and drummer Kevin Brady in early 2010 to arrange songs for what would become "Fingertips of the Silversmith".This album, produced by David Geraghty, was released independently in Ireland on 22 October 2010, under the new name of "Tiger Cooke".Tadhg found that as an independent act without a huge marketing budget, "Tiger" would be an easier name to use in foreign markets (and even at home), especially in an age when the internet and internet searches are so important.
