They have collaborated with well known artists including Christy Moore, "as well as more than a dozen musicians who have worked to create an impressive collection of work".[2] Their style has been described as including "Irish folk, melancholic ballads, upbeat jigs, and modern pop".[3] Stockton's Wing have supported artists including Michael Jackson and Prince.[4]
