| About Sean Cooney |
|
Sean Cooney is a folk singer/songwriter, workshop leader and historian.
He lives by the sea on the beautiful Hartlepool Headland where he leads local heritage projects with schools and community groups, celebrating the rich history of the area in song and story.
His latest venture is HERUTEU: A Musical Journey through the History of Hartlepool. This is a 60 minute concert of local songs tracing the history of the town. It includes original songs about the lives of the early Northern saints, the legendary Crofters, the Bombardment of 1914 and much more.
He is one third of the Young'Uns who continue to make a name for themselves on the folk scene and who, in 2008, appeared at major maritime festivals such as Glasson Dock (Lancaster) Liverpool Tall Ships, Great Yarmouth and Bie Daip (Netherlands).
He runs the Pot House Folk Club which is a fortnightly (friday) singaround at the Harbour of Refuge pub on the Headland in Hartlepool
He leads sea shanty workshops for children and young people and is very proud of Hartlepool's very own school shanty group, St Bega's Shanty Crew, who took landlubbers by storm in 2008.
