Born in Peterswell, near Gort, in south County Galway in 1924. He was one of the earliest members of the Tulla Ceili Band when, as the St Patrick’s Amateur Band, Tulla, they won the ceili band competition at Feili Luimni in 1946. In 1954, first Joe Cooley and then Paddy O’Brien left for the US - While in New York he was involved in the Joe Cooley Ceili Band and the Joe Cooley Instrumental Group. He moved from New York to Chicago and finally to San Francisco. Sadly he passed away in 1973 aged 49.
Best summed up by Tony MacMahon’s sleeve notes: “Listen for his strong lonely sound, for it is the heartbeat of the past.”
