Sean Cooney is a powerful voice in British folk music and theatre.

Winner of 3 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards with his band the Young'uns, the creator, musical director, lyricist, composer, and book writer has made 9 albums, recorded a number of radio programmes and is behind the acclaimed international theatre show, The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff.

His work brings untold working-class stories to life by blending folk song, historical testimony, archival recordings, and spoken word.

Tom Raine follows his creative process as he works on a brand new album, this time not inspired by amazing people, but amazing dogs.

Having just retired his wife’s guide dog Nessie after 8 and a half years of service, Sean has been inspired to craft a new set of songs about history’s heroic hounds - the dogs that have been more than just companions, but life savers, including the legendary Rollo who saved a baby during the Great Sheffield Flood of 1864.

It all culminates in a dog friendly concert in one of the many locations where the stories took place.
