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....

ahhh .....this brings a wee bit of a Celtic tear to me eye, upon hearing this little gem... Steve is a MASTER player.....
I love how he closes his eyes and surrenders himself to the music

That's just astonishing. It's so beautiful. It breaks my heart and makes it sing all at once. Mo cheol thú Steve.
the 2nd tune is usually called Si Bheag Si Mhor by Turlough O' Carolan
Steve Cooney, bless your soul ✨

A truly gifted guitar player
Great playing!!
Legend!
This was written by Turlough O Carolan, 17th or 18th Century Irish harpist. Some man, and great rendition
How can 5 people give this a thumbs down!
6 now they must have faulty babelfishes no other explanation!
Очень красиво. Большой мастер.
Just beautiful ... is there a cd available of Steve's guitar music?
The variation starting at 2:45 is one of the prettiest things I've ever heard...
Who can we lobby, plead with, entreat, bribe or beg to get Steve to make a cd of his guitar music available?
The name of the song is Molly Malone

Go raibh maith agat, a Steve. Cloisim
do cheol gach lá, tá sé bronntanas an-dheas.
just wondering if this melody is one of the famous irish blind harpist o' carrollin's songs?
Yes, it is!
Oh my goodness. Spellbinding.

I'd like to hear Pierre Bensusan cover this
Dolly Parton sent me here.
@Spinozzi9 amen!
@Marc Twain ❤
Does anyone know if this tune goes by another name?
The first tune I mean.

I think you do a fairly good job of touching him on the guitar front on this tune!
question: is there lyrics for this song?
