Musician and Singer

An accomplished musician and singer ( mezzo-soprano), Miriam has recorded and performed all over Europe. 

Miriam’s recent pop-folk acoustic album ‘Freefalling’, produced by award winning multi-instramentalist Nick Pynn and Phil Ward, was released by First Night Records . 

“An album with plenty of character… It’s one of those tuneful, catchy, whimsical, slightly quirky-indie acoustic-folk-pop confections that proves deceptively sweet-toned and accessible and exquisite, yet often also elicits emotions and physical responses that confirm the existence of the darker side of things.” Fatea

"Miriam Cooke has a clear voice with the purity and power of Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez. The arrangements are simple giving her singing space to shine through and shine gloriously it does. Miriam makes it sound so simple, so effortless and so perfect...finely crafted sensitive songs delivered by a classic singer songwriter that nods back to those gatefold sleeved albums by Sandy Denny, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. This is a delight throughout.” Northern Sky Magazine.

"What Cooke has created is a thing of intense beauty, a structure as fragile as even the most dainty of flowers yet with an underlying strength that is hard to ignore." Musical Moron

what people are saying

"Miriam Cooke's  new track Freefalling is a captivating symphony which comprises of timeless, yet haunting melodies, that are so poignant they’re almost empyreal. But what really stands out about this track is the essence that it's based upon. Her lyrics touch upon the travesty that the 21st century England has become to create a contemporary anthem that Billy Bragg would be proud of. " AnR

“This wonderful songstress is the perfect candidate. Accompanied by flute, violin, double bass and of course her own guitar and voice she combines wonderful stories and delicate melodies.” Folklore

"Cooke trades in a very British acoustic folk pop with a voice that’s earned her comparisons to the young Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Kate Bush and Sandy Denny, her songs exploring both the darkness and the light of contemporary life, variously shaded by harp, flute and cello with co-producer Nick Pynn variously on 5 string violin, mountain dulcimer and mandocello" folking.com

Miriam Cooke's music combines the sweetness and accessibility of acoustic pop with indie quirkiness. Her voice is reminiscent of Sandy Denny, Canadian Joni Mitchell, Carole King and the great Kate Bush, while evoking the pop side of Norah Jones. The songs, which speak of love and life, eternal and common themes, hit home; believable, slightly nostalgic and truthful. She has the ability and grace to touch the very heartstrings of the audience. Simple, delicate. Perfection.”   Loff.it

Stunning folk songstress Miriam Cooke's music is a glorious symphony of haunting melodies peppered with lively riffs of guitar, flute, harp and violin. A powerful blend of the traditional and original.' SPmedia
