Dear Christy,Today we buried my dad. He was a big fan of your music. One of your songs which he loved, The time has come, we played today at his ceremony. It brought many tears to many Dutch eyes. The power of music. We thank you for making such beautiful music and hope you'll come over to the Netherlands soon again.Brendan McCarthy Date - 03/02/12, Location - Netherlands

Well Christy hows she cuttin ? Myself and Martin Mac have just returned from sunny Gran Canaria and unfortuntaely missed the first hour of Sin E and thankfully Maryline gave us a link fo the 2nd hour Our Honda Brian enabled me to hear to first hr last night - terrific show fair play to Mick and Lar . A couple with us on holiday told me they were in Flanagans Pub and the place erupted with applaud when the singer got into Christy songs -It was my first time to hear Folk Tale and Listen with me headphones I went away to my private place to hear them - fantastic sounds - just perfect . Thanks for the new chat and great to see Donegal on your list of possible gigs - so looking forward to Derry - Shine On Christy and gabh raibh mile maith agat x Date - 03/02/12, Location - Donegal

Beir bua. H Date - 03/02/12, Location - An Riocht

Lar

Well...I should've quietly rang Kieran Kelly and ye'd all be none the wiser..curry and chips on me next visit..so poor Matty got n'ere a bob..next gathering I will personally make a collection, and we'll all head to the hill of Allen with boxes of Vino collapso, and H2o, and someone with a brass neck can say the mass themseles. I stand corrected but I know there was a clatter of ye forwarding & rewinding old cassettes...where's Chris D..?? was there a prize ? and who put the figs in fig rolls.

The dialog about the intro to "Reel" brought back some great memories. I remember way back when... the intro sometimes took longer than the song!!! One time you went on how it was your next door neighbor who used to get after you for stealing apples from his tree, so when he died and your mam sent you with the money to go to the priest to have a mass said, you and your friends bought the few flagons of cider, went up to the top of the hill of Allen and said the mass yourselves... and experienced the "Reel" on the way back down.... loved it!By the way...thinking of this the other day... ever a chance of "Musha" being resurrected some day?  Don't know why this one came to mind, but it did. No snowdrops here, but plenty of snow!! Date - 03/02/12, Location - sliabh sneachta

the talk of mattie  from that Cambridge gig  for some reasion remined  me of another recording from a few years after  " live at the nch" "96"  great  version of St Brenden's Voage . some great songs on that set the ald triangle comes to mind .. Date - 03/02/12, Location - wicklow

Well Christy,Just wanted to say you've always been a massive inspiration to me and my music. I'm 18 and i've been to see ya twice, both times I was blown away. I saw in your recent newsletter you're gonna be coming back to Galway soon so I wait with anticipation. However the main reason for my message is I recently wrote a song, specifically with you in mind to be honest and I thought i'd throw it your way so you could give it a listen and see what ya think. All feedback welcome.http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=DcMKa6jj1-IHowever links don't seem to work on this so if you search 'mike burke midnight plane' it should be the first one there. Thanks again, for everything. Date - 03/02/12, Location - Galway, Ireland

Maryline

a few days later, Birmingham 14 of june 1991, still funnier, kindda same intro to same song... ah comon'... the Reel in the flickering light it is. If anyone wants the bootleg, it's now or never, i take 2 weeks holidays to come collect my chips and curry... i wish ! Date - 03/02/12, Location - The Bay

Maryline

ok Laurence, i'll have a chicken curry on you PLUS YOUR CHIPS please... :-) Listening to bootleg Cambridge 24 of may 1991... "In 1959... bla bla bla ... mother gave me a pound to give a mass for him. In 1959 a pound was a lot of money, the Pope would say a mass for a pound ... bla bla bla .... so we drank them and said the mass ourselves"... Followed finally by... wait... i'll be back but not Matty :-) Date - 03/02/12, Location - The Bay

Christy,I hope you get a chance to read theseEvery once in awhile. I have loved yourMusic since I was 5 or 6. In Co. Kerry my grandmother used to play Planxty trad. on the concertina all the time.She introduced me to Cliffs of Doneen and Nancy Spain on a compilation tape. I have been hooked ever since. Thank you for giving me fond memories of Bridie Neville everytime i hear your music. Thanks,Michael

Now, wasnt Matty a lonley old fella and everyone ignored and nobody paid any heed but when he was found at the butt of the Curragh line there was a big guilt trip and the boys were given a pound to go and get a mass said, and didnt they not only go and adjourn to the hill of Allen, but said the mass themselves after figurin out a pound would get a few flagons..now, it could be Me & the Rose still or one of Shanes but I dont think I'll lay easy now til I find it..
