I love Steve Cooney. We are so lucky he came to live among us. He has an infinite insight into the soul of Irish music and song. My Sympathy on the loss of old pal Brendan Begley. R.I.P. God Bless you. .
Beautiful playing. Witnessed Steve's playing many times over the years but most memorable were the Ballyshannon Festival marquee gigs with Seamus Begley. Thanks for the memories Steve and keep it coming.
My very favourite O'Carolan piece, if it's even possible to have a favourite of such exquisite music. What a masterful, sweet and playful rendition Steve did here! :)
One more thing..Steve Cooney is to the guitar what Mick Fleetwood was to the drums.....does anyone see the resemblance.......It's pure Genius. Remember those nights in Whelans....magic!!
This is a beautiful piece of music played so well here by Steve. Check out Liam O'Flynn and Planxty playing the same tune on the pipes its very special too.
If you ever go to a music session in south west Kerry you will realies that every guitar player has the following line stamped across their performance " Steve Cooney was here" There's only one thing wrong with that.......None of them are Steve Cooney. I have heard him play many times and believe me no one even comes close....

I love how he closes his eyes and surrenders himself to the music
Steve Cooney, bless your soul ✨
That's just astonishing. It's so beautiful. It breaks my heart and makes it sing all at once. Mo cheol thú Steve.
Probably the most perfect piece ever played!

the 2nd tune is usually called Si Bheag Si Mhor by Turlough O' Carolan
Masterful rendition of a beautiful tune. Joyful .A pleasure to hear. Thanks

The variation starting at 2:45 is one of the prettiest things I've ever heard...
This was written by Turlough O Carolan, 17th or 18th Century Irish harpist. Some man, and great rendition
Dolly Parton sent me here.
just wondering if this melody is one of the famous irish blind harpist o' carrollin's songs?
Yes, it is!
❤️
your right
The name of the song is Molly Malone
Oh my goodness. Spellbinding.
Just beautiful ... is there a cd available of Steve's guitar music?
I'd like to hear Pierre Bensusan cover this
Who can we lobby, plead with, entreat, bribe or beg to get Steve to make a cd of his guitar music available?
jesus!
Does anyone know if this tune goes by another name?
The first tune I mean.
@Spinozzi9 amen!
@Marc Twain ❤
what is celtic guitar ? pray i ask
I think you do a fairly good job of touching him on the guitar front on this tune!
