Hi Christy, just listening in to your interview with Pat Kenny on the old wireless this morning, sounding good. Fair play as well re: the rape crisis gig in September..a disgrace that their funding was pulled but no big surprise (Oblivious) …still lots of sport and great gigs to look forward to then for the summer Christy #COYBIG good luck to the lilly whites as well..not sure how things are going to go for the men from Dun Na Gall, probably between ourselves ant Tyrone for provincial honours but hard to tell. Had a great Gig at the Boss last weekend at Croker, managed to capture a short clip of our esteemed leader Rocking and bopping with his air guitar to the sounds of Springsteen. It was good craic and the clip went absolutely viral …I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry ……anyways stuff to do…catch up soon. Enjoy the good weather. Love & Respect Martin Mac

our Taoiseach is a ball of pure funk, he has the rhythm of a cougar, his hips sure swivel and shake, renowned for his shapes on the Dancefloors of Toureen and Pontoon back in the day, and him a young lad when the only harm in him was hangin out of him….the girls were always lookin out for the Man from Islandeady..pure sex on the dancefloor..according to all accounts Michael Ring could’nt get a look in..Father Horan used to keep a close eye during the slow sets lest some innocent might get a rub of the relic
I fancy the Lilies for the O’Byrne Cup next year
Afternoon there Christy.
Sad news in these parts with the passing away on Saturday of Larry Kearns 73 One of the fine men of the Oldham Tinkers. I shall take some time to re-acquaint myself with a few of their tunes over the weekend.
Best wishes Frankie
Christy's reply
sorry to hear this…I played with Tinkers 50 years ago..a lovely Lancashire trio we had some great nights
Well Christy, you nailed it; that, if I had spent less on booze I might have had the money to buy your new CD sooner. I don’t have much leeway these days. But, I will, for sure, get it soon. I think I will enjoy it very much. I was quite amazed that you left my last YouTube post. I didn’t expect that at all. I send them to you, hopefully as entertainment and certainly not to be a bore. I never expect that you’ll keep them on your site. Hell, I would never expect you would necessarily be interested to watch either. But I have heard you calling businesses on the phone in Ireland. That was quite funny. I loved it. That being said, here is my thanks to our woman song writers and particularly to Linda Thompson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDxS6Zv0Tgc
Christy, Chile asking U.S. to extradite Ex General living in Florida for the murder of Victor Hara. Read it in the Guardian this evening. Though you might like to know.
Christy, I love the new album. I wrote a review on my blog site this afternoon. If you have a couple of spare minutes it would be great if you read it. Cheers, Pat. It is here http://patrickmaginty.blogspot.co.uk/
Christy's reply
Pat, thank you for sharing and for taking the time to review….great to see Brian Maguire being referenced….some of his recent work is gaining world wide response.
The feedback for LILY has been very encouraging. Its always a tense time. When all the work is done, an album is released to fly away upon the air. We stand aside and wonder will it be noticed? will it gain any attention? will Larry give it a spin ?
It’s been an emotional few days. There was Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds at the Palladium, taking the ladies to Wembleydon, though none so much as seeing the Blackrock stamp on a white envelope bearing fineness. Well done to all for Lily. I might learn the Ballad of Patrick Murphy for the father in law but better still play him your interpretation . Superior in every way. See you shortly and thank you. Xx
Christy's reply
great result, deserved promotion, fresh targets for next season, have you been to Milton Keynes before ?

Hi Christy.
I think I was at that gig. It was called the Motel. A rough old joint alright. It used to be Austie Crows in Dundrum on a Friday night for the show bands and the Motel on a Sunday for drinking.
Tony
Christy's reply
If memory serves it was part of Bill Fuller’s portfolio at the time….afterwards it lay empty and abandoned for decades
Evening Christy.
I’m interested to know how you ended up playing Halla na feile in Cashel. It must be one of the smallest venues in recent times.
I spent many a magic night there drinking minerals and smooching with young ones.
The place has had a major overhaul since those days. I would love to be there but alas the dates do not fit in with the calendar
If you are of a mind to maybe you could give them the galtee mountain boy.
Enjoy your trip to Tipp. Tony
Christy's reply
There are many people involved in our gigs. One of our team checks out venues that express an interest. When he visited the Cashel venue he reckoned it was ideal for our gig. I’ve played many small venues in recent years as well as many large ones.It will be interesting to play in Cashel again. I did play there once before about 40 years ago. A Hotel upon a Hill out the (old)Dublin road. It was a Sunday night. It was a shambles. The Hotel thought they had booked a dance band.I did my best but neither the audience nor the Hotel nor myself had much fun….40 years on and I hope to obliterate the memory of that awful night
in a previous life I played Rugby for the Cashel Club in 1964. I was 18 and working in Clonmel….we had a very successful team and won a number of trophies…I was not a good player but made up for it afterwards in the sing song and porter stakes
I would imagine that his name would have been recorded differently….also he married Catherine Kelly also from Kildare. One other thing I was at a do in the Marine Hotel, Ballycastle to join my cousin Kathleen and husband Tom Milne from Tipp. They were enroute to watch the Tipp/Cork match in Thurles. They live in London and were over for a golf outing…the majority of men with them, nearly all in their 70’s and living in London since they were very young men. They came from all over Ireland. The sing song was marvellous and nearly all songs were about emigration. A wonderful group of singers…including Tom Walsh who recorded a CD to raise funds for Down Syndrome Ireland – many of the songs I had not heard before. he also recited a poem/then song called Moriarty…wonderful/sad. I will give your head peace and head out to cut the grass…short! regards Mary
Christy's reply
always hard to bate Rathangan…..I recall a great Planxty gig there in1972…run by a man called Tommy Byrne….we cooled off after in The Bridge Bar….glorious pints by the old canal
Maidin mhaith a Christy,
Go raibh maith agat for Lily it’s a wonderful collection. Looking forward to hearing songs from Lily in the Waterfront.
Retired on Friday after 40 years in housing. Plan to develop my craft business (picture of books as you call it). Up until now I could only work on commissions evenings and weekends now I will be able to wander in to my little workshop in the garden as the notion take me.
Delighted to read that the Boss’s great grandfather came from Co. Kildare. Christy Gerrity, from Rathangan, was also known as a hell-raiser and outspoken protester in his glory days. He was arrested and imprisoned in 1823 under the Insurrection Act – which targeted those protesting the social injustice (a Christy thing) of excessive tithes, rent payments and related evictions of the time. Married in 1827 and lived in a mud cabin with a thatched room in the townland of Mount Prospect. In 1847 (one of the worst years of the Ireland’s Great Famine), he worked as transporter of goods and livestock and sent his sons to study at Rathangan National School. Left for New Jersey in 1853.
Yes you are right there are some great hurlers in the Glens and yes we would settle for the McCarthy cup alright. When are you going to pack out Croke? Then the real bos would be in town.
Thanks for Lily…ride on! Mary
Christy's reply
what a great piece of information…so Bruce has a bit of The Shortgrass in him…we are not at all surprised for singing comes naturally to The Lilies..Rathangan is a grand spot..only last Summer I walked the canal bank from Allenwood to Rathangan with young Sappy Heavey..twice upon the walk we encountered happy wanderers both of whom stopped for a chat AND shared a song…then a feckin Cabin Cruiser pulled in and a canal lady began to sing me a song….my guess is that Christy was a Geraghty whose name was mis-spelled at Ellis Island..but I could be off the mark
Ah Christy, looking forward to the new album. Oh, excuse me, CD.
Current (Canadian) American rant. We Irish are warriors, even if we have left the old sod, ahem Erin’s Island. But in the politically correct “caged” Great Britain, this will never be seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9OW_pZCLT0

Hi Christy.
Loving Lily; I was curious to know if there is a back-story behind (Peter Gabriel’s) Wallflower {Amnesty International? Some specific prisoner? Suicide watch?}.
I came across this: “Peter Gabriel sang Wallflower as lead singer in October 1990’s Amnesty International’s concert “Desde Chile, Un Abrazo a la Esperanza”, at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile, with Chilean folk music band Inti Illimani as support band. Introducing that number, in front of 75000 people, Gabriel told to the audience that he had composed that song after knowing about torture in Chile. They (Gabriel + Inti Illimani) also played then “El Arado”, a song composed by chilean musician Victor Jara (tortured and assassinated in 1973), with Gabriel as lead singer, in Spanish.
Agustan – Santiago, Chile”
The two-nights Journey on RTE recently was fascinating. Perhaps you and the trusty 4711’ers might collect/write the stories behind more of your recordings on Song-facts or is there another site that tells the backgrounds?
Warm Regards,
Jim
Hi Christy,MANDOLIN MOUNTAIN,what can I say,its going up there with gortatogart,ride on and Nancy Spain,CLASS,Keep them coming Christy.
Christy's reply
I can still remember precisely where I was when I heard Tony sing this song..he had sent me his CD…Michael and I were returning from a gig down South…It played as we passed beneath The Shannon at Limerick to join the Dublin Motorway..straightway I began to learn the words…I agree with you…….its not everyone hears the way we do, but that does not matter to me…I will sing as long as I am able to sing
Hi Christy
My daughter Georgia just text me on her way down to Exeter for the weekend to say ‘your pal Christy is keeping us company in the car’
Made my heart melt. Can you send her a message at gcbyrne@hotmail.co.uk and delight the shit out of her.
All the best

.Im home with semi concussion.. some kid from sixth class blasted a football that was as hard as a rock away from the goal and hit me in the upper face.My neck went into next week! And I wasnt even playing football with 6th class because they’re on the other side of the playground.
Well lily has crossed liberty stream and I am home this week having a lie around and a good listen …The tuam beat is very good uplifting song! Makes me want to dance!! Christy moore and saw doctors = perfect combination.
My favourite at the moment is the gardener reminds me of the little robin at the end of the garden… she comes to me but I can’t find her nest .
She stands on shergíns back eating bugs aswell.
Wall flower reminds me a lot of the seoighe family who were in maum trasna in the 1800’s who were convicted of murder that they didn’t do they had no english and one of them was sadly hung.The rest came out after being found not guilty after many years in jail. They came to Galway on the train with many people waiting to greet them there .Its a very sad story. Wallflower paints their story in my mind.
It also reminds me of my dads friends sonny and peter pringle another sad story.
Oblivious is a song that I can agree with and relate to ,and its stuck in my head for hours ..you sang it brilliantly on the late late.Aren’t we lucky to live in a time where we can sing such songs?
CS(11)
PS Shergín has found a place in her current garden to look down at me from about half a mile away every time I bang the back door I see her ears peeping over the wall.
Christy's reply
my heart goes out to you CS…I got a bang of a ball (in the bread basket) when I was 13..I thought I was going to die….I blacked out for a while… Shergín sounds like a good prospect for the Donkey Derby..fair play to the Robin for keeping her (him?) bug free…i’m sure the Robin enjoys crunchin the ticks and Shergín is happy to be free of the lodgers…
I like “Wallflower”..its a great song to sing..stirs me every time…so far I have only done it at 2 gigs but I hope it will become a regular in the set… I’ll do it in Furbo anyway…
You should write a song about Maum Trasna…same way as John Spillane wrote about Patrick Murphy in Passage West
Hi Christy. Back in Dublin for a week and awake until all hours every night – I think jet lag just gets worse as you get older. I thought opening my brother’s copy of “One voice, my life in song” might help, as I’d read it before.. but it didn’t work! I was really struck again by your relationships with the songs that you’ve written and sung, and by your notes on all the people who’ve created the songs. As I read it I kept thinking of Iris DeMent’s lovely tune “Sweet Is The Melody” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-gEtIayWqE . You probably know it (and you’ve likely had a surfeit of song suggestions over the years) but I thought I’d mention it.
Cheers, Rory.
Christy's reply
Welcome back Rory…. jet lag is the very divvil itself…it used to wreck my poor old head…. then I read of Spike Milligan’s cure for seasickness….”stand under a tree” prescribed Dr Spike….
I hope it recedes in time for you to enjoy the remainder of your stay…thanks for sharing…I’d not heard it before….I always appreciate anyone taking the trouble to point me towards a song…its how I have discovered many gems across the years…Burning Times,Tuam Beat,How Long,No Time for Love all spring to mind….
