Since moving to Ireland from Melbourne, Australia in 1981 Stephen Cooney has made a meteoric impact on traditional music in this country. Cooney’s excellent technique and understanding of traditional Irish music have helped him to win over many of the staunchest traditionalists who would question the guitars use in Irish Trad Music. Testament to this are the seminal groups and albums that Cooney has contributed to over the last twenty odd years from Sharon Shannon’s first record to his current work with Sinead O'Connor.
