More Than Music with Ronan Browne & special guest, Steve Cooney

​This month Ronan welcomes special guest STEVE COONEY Steve Cooney is best known for his development of an influential style of guitar accompaniment to the traditional dance music of West Kerry, for which he won the National Entertainment Award in 1997. Born in Australia, he came to Ireland in 1980. He has participated in making more than 250 CD's, either as a guitar or bass player or as producer and engineer. A poet and songwriter, he has worked with many iconic international artists in rock and country music but his primarily focus is Irish traditional music, and fusions of that genre. He has been particularly influenced by the music of Sliabh Luachra. In 2020 his CD release of solo guitar interpretations of ancient harp tunes was voted the Irish Times top traditional record and it won in three categories at the RTÉ Folk Awards, where he was also given a Lifetime Achievement award. He was named TG4 Cumadóir na Bliana (Composer of the Year) in 2021. He was awarded a Ph.D. in 2018 for an intuitive musical notation system that he invented for early learners and for those with difficulties reading staff notation.
