Thank you so much for your reply and I’m glad that the Continental Céile brings back those great memories. It’s a family favourite when we get together on occasion for a “sesh”. It’s not an easy one to remember all the lyrics, not to mention the distractions of a live audience but we won’t write off hearing an auld verse or two from you somewhere along the way…. no pressure of course and looking forward to seeing you on the 23rd.
Hi Christy,
Loved your ‘No surfing tonight’ 👍
Whenever you feel like surfing.
We’d welcome your comments on our website http://www.morechristy.com
We want to be sure that it tributes your good self the way our live performances on stage hopefully do. All part of our ‘Voyage’ of keeping your legacy going in the UK.
Great to be at the ‘National Ballad Lounge’ back in May. You were absolutely on form that night !!
Take good care.

Christy's reply
Last Month, Frank Conroy was finally honoured in Kilcullen Co.KIldare….
For generations, Catholic and State Authorities have specifically and purposely denied those heroic volunteers…
They made their way to Spain to fight the Fascists who those same authorities supported..
When surviving Brigadistas returned to Ireland they were shunned by Church and State…
Peter O’Connor and his Wife Biddy told me of his return home..
shared how he (and others) found it hard to gain employment, and suffered the cold shoulder from many in the community
Fleadhs and Feile all over the place… flutes
and fiddles everywhere…. music coming from all angles but it’s the Christy gigs that we are looking for.
Watched a video of a 2017 gig of yours from Bundoran… Oct 2017 ( youtube) and started to think , Oct is coming around…. and wondered is a Bundoran October gig a possibility this time around ??
