The three of you were a fine team on stage in Carrick on Shannon and Tullow, Christy – loved how Seamie and Jimmy added new accents to the old songs – they sparkled like new with fiddle, harp and percussion … Uwe and I are back home now and I can’t get ‚Before The Deluge‘ (in remembrance of Prince) out of my head … Loved the new songs as well – can’t wait for the new album to be released. Thanks for two grand concerts – ‚Spancilhill‘ was the perfect closer. And kudos to the rest of the team, sound and lights were perfect – grand job as always – I’m sure the power blackout in Tullow was not their fault, just bad it happened during ‚Mandolin Mountain‘ but there is hope we can hear it on the new album ?
Christy's reply
It will be the opening track Petra…..the power failure in Tullow was outside our control….it happens occasionally and is always long remembered….(most memorably in 1986 at CJ’s of Salthill in Galway where it went down for 30 minutes…)
I studied in Belfast four years ago. During that year, I found your music. I started with one concert that was so good that I just wanted to listen more. So, for nine months, every month, I traveled around in Ireland (what was one of the things I really wanted to do from the moment I knew I have a change to study in Ireland). To make it even double awesome, I connected those travels with changes to go to see your concerts in places I think I would otherwise never ended up. So I spent a weekend in Mullingard, took a train to Castlebar, went to Limerick.. But my best memory is of a concert in Vicar Street, just before Christmas, flying back home for holidays the next day.
So, now, four years later, I am coming back to my favorite island with my fiance – to show him all the places I fell in love in Ireland. I was so glad that during our stay in Dublin, I found, you are also having a concert in Vicar street. So, ofcourse, I added this to our itinerary (both of them, to be honest – just taking all I can to this rare visit to Ireland). So, after four years (actually, three, year later I managed to catch your concert during a trip to London), I am going to see the magic that your singing on a stage is, once again. So happy about it. If you can, I would love to hear “No Time for Love” again. It was the final song on the first concert I heard you live. I had not heard that song before but it moved me so strongly that it became my favorite song instantly.
All the best and I hope those two nights at Vicar Street are going to be amazing 🙂

Hope you and your Fiancee have a good visit…thanks for sharing your journey with us
Dear Christy,
After a lot of struggle with the internet and a dozen of links from all over the world and a never ceasing Hilary at last I have seen you’re wonderful Journey.
It’s always a bit special and brave when somebody lets you see personal things no matter if that person is famous or not.
I’m a psychiatric nurse and its my job to let people tell about themselves so that we can try to solve their problem.
It’s not always a grateful job but it’s by people like you that gives us strength to continue. So it’s not only you’re music that keeps us inspired !
Thanks for shearing and see you in june.
Chris

Thank you for your feedback…hope you are having good days
A damp and dirty day in the Kingdom,,,, Bring on the Singers Cut,,,,,as well as the DVD and any other version of that material that was filmed,,,let none of it go to waste,,,more Moore can only be good,,,,Beir bua..H
It started yesterday when I was baking and listening to you on Desert Island Discs…love it. This morning full of good intentions to move mountains, I sat down briefly to view your guest book… read JimwalshIreland…‘I can feel it in my water said Shannon’. That led me to the source of this great river (Co. Cavan province of Ulster.) I then meandered on to YouTube to listen to you singing only our rivers run free…and then to the ballad of James Larkin (noted your hipster beard!)…my husband is a relation of Cathal O’Shannon trade unionist, friend of James Connolly and James Larkin, a fellow prisoner of Arthur Griffith and one of the organisers of de Valera’s famous first election victory in east Clare. In 1976 his son Cathal directed ‘Even the Olives are bleeding. The Irish in the Spanish Civil War.’ If that’s not enough…I googled hipster ‘…a subculture of men and women… that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter…it’s yourself I’m thinking. Beir bua a Christy…from the mouth of the Shannon!
Christy's reply
I remember Cathal O’Shannon’s Film.I have a video of it somewhere here.
“The Ballad of James Larkin”was written by Donagh McDonagh. I gleaned it from “Irish Street Ballads”, Colm O’Lochlann’s collection way back in the 60s, there were two Volumes.Manys the Balladeer relied upon O’Lochlann to develop their repertoire. Two vital collections.
We loved our beards back in the 60s. I went to London in the Summer of ’62 and came home with a right bush on me. My Mother gave me a pound to shave it off but it grew again the following Summer.At the time there was no other beard in the town that I can remember.That beard you mention was a lush growth. Mushrooms grew in it and Starlings nested.Globules of porter stuck to it and crubeens were best avoided.
I recorded “Journey” on the DVR and finally got to watch the two episodes over this weekend. It made for great viewing. There were things in there that I hadn’t heard before, like how the original tradition with ballad singers was to “carry the news” as you put it, or how the melody for “Everybody knew” about poor Ann Lovett just came to you in the studio. I still remember the first time I heard you sing “The two fishermen Conneely” in Vicar St (which was in relatively recent years), and it was moving to see you visiting the island again, meeting their sister and singing the song looking out to sea. Overall “Journey” contained fascinating insights delivered with your usual no-nonsense honesty. Fair play.

Christy's reply
I loved going back and meeting those connected to the songs. Over 40 hours were filmed and just two hours transmitted. There will be a DVD containing further material. I hpe some day to trwal thru the film not used and maybe produce a “singer’s” cut for anyone interested
It was a wonderful memorable evening at the hotel. And yes it is unusal playing concerts in hotels but because of this we could come all the way up from Bremen/Germany and enjoy your music! Any chance you ever will play a gig in Hamburg again in the near future? We’d love to hear you there :0)
Christy's reply
It is my wish to play one more time in Germany….I have had some happy tours there since my first visit with Planxty in 1972. We played with Champion Jack Dupree and a German band called Leinamann.
A bit of hibernation and a bit of Frugalisto over the winter Christy , We are getting all geard up for your gig at Killarney folk festival lookin forward now … Hope your keeping well Christy and best of luck to the lilliwhites today
Hi Christy
Hope the sun shines on your pre gig travels.
Had a great duo gig the other night after watching the sun set over the hills around the Cross Keys at Uppermill .In the preamble to our first song ‘January Man’,I mentioned your excellent version and your fond memories of the area where the folk club is located.It triggered several memories from audients and a spontaneous round of applause for you.Next thing you’ll get an encore without doing the gig first! Fair play …
All the best,
Dave
Christy's reply
After last nights gig by The River Shannon in Leitrim we travelled back down to The River Slaney where it flows through Tullow in County Carlow…”Follow Me up”
Tonights gig is in a fine room in The Mount Wolsley Hotel. Its a funky swish joint where I have gigged 5 times in the past 10 years. There are hordes of Golfers trollying around the links and a wedding in full swing as the crew get ready for tonights fun….I sometimes wonder is the Hotel Gig phenomenon peculiar to Ireland (and Los Vegas)….I dont think I’ve gigged in a UK hotel since the 60s when manys the Folk Club were situated in the back rooms of fading establishments…Johnny Taylor’s Club in Redcar was in a Hotel owned by, I think, June Whitfield ( The Cutty Sark Pehaps) The High Level Ranters held their club is a great old Hotel upon the River Tyne….
Keep singing Dave…good luck on your journey and thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for the reply Christy.
The 4711ers site is down it seems.
I might just post it – “Christy Moore (the bard) Co. Kildare”. 10 euro says it finds you ?
Christy, thanks for the full response on the book idea -I was thinking of One Voice myself, as a counterpoint to some of the nuggets contained here, in conjunction with the recent doc too and the new songs. But I take the points about finding the right formula and also about not making this a time consuming chore that affects the conversational immediacy afforded by this medium.
Enjoy tonight’s gig and the Vicar St ones too. I first saw you play live in Newcastle Co. Down, around 1984 or so, probably during the Ride On tour (and as Austin Currie said after the court fined him for his Caledon squat in 1968 –it was the best value for a fiver that I ever had!) ….that led to pilgrimages to the Point ‘Depot’ in the days when Gerry wore his brown corduroy duffle, and an expedition to the big smoke in Hammersmith in London back around 1991 and regularly since then… So, great to hear you in such good form and sublime voice of late.
Here’s to the Encore

Location: Sligo, Leitrim, we'll split the difference - Carrig on Shannon
Dear Christy,
Welcome to Carrig on Shannon, where many of your most ardent fans are salivating at the prospect of a Masterpiece Gathering around the Songs. It’ll be one of those magic nights.
I can feel it in me water, Shannon said????
This is the day the Fisherman likes, and so do I.
This is Earth Day.
How are ya Christy?
I have to write and comment on what an excellent program “the Journey” was. A great insight into the songs and into “the thinking”. I first saw you play live about 20 plus years ago at Brownlow Leisure Centre, (of all places!), in Craigavon Co. Armagh. Your stand out song that night was “Everybody knew. Nobody said”, which you rounded off with some angry bodhran beating which literally shook the dust of the lights all over the place. It fell like snow and at the finish there was one of your sacred silences which seemed to last forever. In my minds eye I’m there now! If that all sounds a little poetic that’s because it was. It had a real impact on my 15 yr old self. You should set up a page on your website for such gig stories from folk. I’m sure there are plenty out there who have had a “moment” at one of your gigs.
Anyways, enough…. I was wondering if you have an agent or managers email address that I could send a song to? I’ve an auld tune I would like to get to you.

Christy's reply
I remember that night in Craigavon very well…some interesting local Graffiti welcomed me to the venue…it was a good night…there is a thread at 4711ers.org for sharing songs….
I remember all those names that you listed and also Mr. McGowan as the ref. Davey Dolan and Oliver Murphy were Irish boys champions before your time. My only personal experience of a boxing ring was in the boy’s club in the old school in Charlotte St. with Bob Duggan in charge. My brother Brian rushed at me swinging non-stop. I had a few years on him but he had the size and weight. I threw in the towel as soon as I could.
Christy's reply
Joe McGowan’s youngest Son Pat (Meg)was my best friend as we entered Teenage years.Sadly he passed in London a few years ago. I rem Davey Dolan and his brother Joe from the “Top” tennis club. Great to see Bob Duggan’s name mentioned. He had us all gathering up waste paper which he somehow managed to turn into Hurleys and Sliothars. Bob was recycling before the word was invented. Rem Brian well. I would have been between you and Brian in age.
You rang a few bells there recalling the boxing scene, Christy. You might be interested in the local history group’s website http://www.newbridgehistory.org for more nostalgia. Best wishes.
Christy's reply
you seem reluctant to share whatever those bells recalled
Hi Christy..hope all is good with you. Looking forward to a nice wee ramble down to Carrick tomorrow night to catch up with you all. I’m just on my way back home at the moment, from a most memorable evening at Anfield. Always nice to get one over the near neighbours …Pool were excellent but the Everton were poor …the new stand coming along well and due for completion in August…hope it doesn’t change the very unique atmosphere too much. Anyways see you by the Shannon all going well Love & Respect Martin Mac
Christy's reply
back in the 60s I visited both Anfield and Goodison…even saw Tranmere once…my last visit to Anfield was marred by the ref blowing for kick off half way thru “You’ll never Walk Alone” which I deemed to be sacreligious….my son and some good friends are avid Reds whilst a few work colleagues have long supported Everton…..currently I would look towards the Blues but only because they have some Irish players..my long standing interest in Man Utd ( literally since Munich) has been twarted by recent reports of Man Utd fans chanting about Hillsborough…I’ve yet to hear the facts of this outrage but should rumour prove true I’ll not enter Old Trafford again…..the first time I ever witnessed racism was at Stamford Bridge in 1966….it is a beautiful game but the antics of some supporters are just bewildering….the ever increasing theatrics of some players in recent decades make it less attractive with every passing season…the beauty of the game is being tarnished …….nevertheless we hope that Kildare will do well in the Leinster Championship..we are eternal optimists and there is talk of a new dawn….
I have prepared for tomorrow nights debut in beautiful Carrick on Shannon…a new line up…Declan is doing a solo tour in Scotland this week so I will bejoined by Sheamie O’Dowd and Jimmy Higgins….rehearsals are going very well as we map our overnight journey from Carrick to Tullow where Saturdays Nights Gig awaits in the very salubrious surroundings of the Mount Wolsley. I’ve gigged there before ..its a lovely room and we’ve always had good gigs there…
see you tomorrow me auld mucker…easy does it

Hopefully we will return some day…it has always been a hospitable City
