I look at the guitars of Willie Nelson, and Tommy Emmanuals which show more than a little wear, and must say that the guitar of Steve Cooney is the winner! :)

epic! just can't beat Irish traditional music lol nothing in this world like it

[sdrtcacgnrjrc]

I wonder does he ever get splinters :-)

[lubiehotdogi]

why cooney's guitar has such a huge hole in body? I suppose it's related with hard strumming with pick, isn't it? I have heard that classic guitar body is not suitable for such game, or am I wrong?

@Stargreened Also known as "Salmon Tails Down the Water" and as "The Kerry Polka" as recorded by the Pogues(1st tune on the boxed set of cd's)!

[boxtubejohn]

Does anyone know the name of the first tune that they play here? Can't seem to find any Begley & Cooney CDs anywhere. Would anyone recommend Begley's other collaborations?

[ElRojoDiablo1]

I have their CD worn out. Cooney & Begley were brilliant when they were together.

clarebannerman you're the man, this was the most exciting trad band in the world ever (well in my world anyway) it's such a pity they're not gigging still... who knows there might be a reunion tour. Thanks a mil for posting this.
