Tony Cooke Radio Plugger

Tony Cooke is an incredible radio plugger and one of the hard workers behind Scream Promotions. Currently Tony is working hard to promote Adam Holmes and The Embers with their new upcoming album Midnight Milk signed to Gogar Records. 

What makes the album stand out is that it was all recorded in his bedroom. This ten song album is influenced by the likes of Paul Simon, Bob Marley and Feist. Genres include Folk, Gospel, Hip-Hop with Ska and Reggae influences.

Make sure you listen to Midnight Milk which is available now and catch them at either Bush Hall in London on the 21st of November or the 25th of November at the Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh.
