The Blarney Star Concert Series: Michael Cooney & Willie Kelly

Friday, March 6th at 9pm
at Glucksman Ireland House

Michael Cooney turned his attention at a young age to the tin whistle and uilleann pipes, playing a sophisticated repertoire of dance tunes and slow airs. In the 1980s, Michael made a name for himself by winning multiple All-Ireland championships and by playing and recording in the U.S. with Galway button accordion great Joe Burke.  Now living in upstate New York, Michael particularly enjoys playing with New Jersey fiddler and piper Willie Kelly, whose affinity for the old-time music of east Clare and east Galway has made him popular duet partner for many distinguished Irish traditional musicians.
