Subject: RE: The Guitar and Irish Traditional Music
Van Lingle,

Steve Cooney can be heard on many recordings often playing bass or Digeridoo. His guitar style is best heard on recordings he made with Co Kerry box player Seamus Begley - who I think have made a number of recordings, one of which is called Meitheal - pronounced sort of like metal with a h instead of a t in the middle.

Denis Cahil has also recorded lots of stuff but is best known in Irish Music for his work with fiddler Martin Hayes - try "Martin Hayes and Denis Cahil live in Seattle".

Chris Newman has likewise done a lot of work in various bands including a stint in Boys of the Lough - although I'm not sure if this line-up recorded anything. Chris can be heard in at least one excellent duet album with harpist Maire Ni Cathasaigh - Not sure of the title.
