‘Clock winds down’ sounds brilliant and the artwork is superb (album cover and video)-all adding to the great anticipation of the new album – fair play…
Have a great night all – ace to see the list of gigs increasing.
Great news to hear of a new album so close we can almost touch it. Even better seeing the gig page starting to fill up again. Hopefully we will get back to safe live shows again – been a tough few years. Topical as ever with the Clock Winds Down – beautiful song. Stay safe and hopefully we will cross paths again soon. Best wishes to all the crew.
Hi Christy, just listened to your new single Clock winds Down…cracker! Delighted to see dates for shows in Vicar Street as well.That’s a few Santa presents sorted. There’s a great picture of you in the Andersonstown News with Fra McCann taken in Ballymurphy Tenants association summer 1980…90 miles from Dublin. Go well.
Gigs are back…
.We are packing up and leaving the Hills
(Just for the weekend ) flying South, no real mystery why though . Ennis is calling the faithful from near and far.
Ronan Collins gave “the clock winds down…” a spin this afternoon…. sounds great, brilliant arrangement…. and he gave the new album/CD a plug too as well as a mention for the Vic st. Gigs….
A boost for the spirits .
Hi Christy, I’m so happy to read about the gigs at Vicar St.. Hard to believe but just yesterday I booked a trip to Ireland in December hoping that concerts would be possible :-). And then I read the brilliant news on Twitter this morning. Now I “only” need to get a ticket for the 16th…;-). Looking forward to your new album and so much more for the concert! All the best Birgit
Hello Christy,
Damn, I’m sitting here trying not be the next person to post, and it’s not working. Has no-one else seen the new video yet? I love the boat floating on a picture of the sky, the moon phases, the cormorant.
Loads of good news too!

We are here, somewhere near Ennis, heading for kilrush driving on the beautiful roads of a land where they spend road tax on roads, not whatever shite it goes on in the UK, probably unnecessary weapons and mps expenses.
Everything is green and lovely. Will take some pictures in a bit.

Hope all is well. Enjoy the gig in Ennis. Had the tickets for last year in June. We couldn’t make it for this weekend. Think that two people on the waiting list are happy to be there instead! Here in the lowlands the live gigs are returning slowly as well. What a joy that is. Last weekend two nights in a row in Theatre Winsinghof in Roden (north east part of The Netherlands)
Great nights with an lovely audience. Next april Danny. ed and myself will be over in Dublin to prepare for our next theatre program. Looking forward to that.
Of course it is great to be back on stage. But it is worrying that the current signs of the pandemic for these coming months are not good. Hopefully more people will find ways to get vaccinated and the health workers find some extra energy to go another mile. Incredible people!
In the meantime; let the music keep the spirits high.
Dear Christy,
I visited an old boy today, he showed me his 2 guitars hanging and adorning his wall, having just given away his red signed Brian May replica to be used by a 14yo budding musician. Lovely man whose modest home is a shrine to his musical heroes.
As i bid him farewll i quoted him those 2 predictable lines from Before the Deluge as his health falters, and he replied…The Blues had a child and they called it Rock n Roll.
Music is the eternal language indeed.

Hello Christy,
Hope all is well with you and yours. We haven’t heard from you for a while on here.
I’ve been working my way through your wishlist. Paul Robson singing old man river blew me away. His voice doesn’t sound possible. I’ll try to post a link.
Rebecca
I keep looking at your site hoping for a gig sometime soon. Rick and I are ready (reluctantly) to travel again and would do it in a minute to come to see you again in concert (last time was Jan 2020 for our 40th anniversary – you gave us a shoot out – a memory we treasure!). Hope you are safe and well.
Trawling round RTE player and hit on ‘The Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne ‘ – Paddy Moloney’s interview from 2012. Warm, engaging and totally fascinating… Paddy modestly describes his ‘gift’ and Gay does what he did so well..nudging, rather than probing. Fabulous tv and highly recommended. For similar reasons, I also remember your chat in the same series.
Thankyou so much!
Hi Christy/ all
Thoughts of your gig tonight. Lucky songsters…
