The White Horse

A rare opportunity to learn from the maestro.

Born in Melbourne Australia in 1953, Steve Cooney came to Ireland in 1980 and is best known for his development of an influential style of guitar accompaniment to traditional Irish dance music developed in the West Kerry Gaeltacht. Renowned for his seminal collaboration with Séamus Begley, Steve has participated in making more than 250 CD's, either as a guitar or bass player or as producer and engineer.
