Hi Christy,
Is the work ever done a chara ?
You’ve written countless songs, come across countless more.
And been given for your consideration countless plus one.
But from Don’t Forget Your Shovel to before,
and from Lemons 7 to beyond you have always found a way
to get inside the songs and connect them to so many people.
And it is a holy thing
And it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Enjoy the cabaret in Wexford on Saturday and we’re all
looking forward to you coming west along the road in September.

Dear Christy; If you have a chance give a listen to Another Christmas Song by Jethro Tull. Probably Ian Anderson’s finest song from his years living on Skye. It awaits a true ballad singer. And a new arrangement. But I think you would do a brilliant job with it. I imagine Liam Clancy or Glen Campbell or Stan Rogers or one of those guys doing it. But Jaysus they’re all dead.

we wont feel it comin around again…have yet to finish last Christmas’s pudding…there’s a green mould growing out of it but that could be tasty in itself…the evenings drawing in already and August only half over…before we know it we’ll have Bing Crosby back in the shopping mall ..yo ho ho jingle bells,….Nollaig sona dhuit Owen

Hello Christy,
I’m so glad to hear about your recording project. It’s going to be a wonderland for folk singers. I’d love to hear more about it.
