Mighty performance tonight Christy- the heat was savage though!!
Great set list, a few we hadn’t heard in a while mixed in there
What else would we be at on a Monday night!
thanks for Back Home in Derry –
Noel & Lucy,
Christy's reply
be the janey Noel but twas like a very pleasant sauna
I played a good few freezin cold kips in my time
I loves the hot sweaty joints..
That was some sauna of a room tonight Christy….. but you played a blinder in the stifling heat. Some beautiful easy listening numbers, you read the room to perfection. Delighted to hear Johnny Jump up…..haven’t heard it in a while. Well done on a mention of Aisling, taken away way too soon. Like her Dad she was a wonderful Musician.
Our center forward was on loan across the pond, so I was drafted off the Subs bench for tonight. Don’t think the Boss was too happy with my fitness levels 😂.
Hope I’m not kicked off the panel for the next game!!!!!
Thanks Christy for another brilliant gig.
Best regards
Ride on.

To be found on the slopes of Knocknashee. Always though it a great expression for a herd of cattle!

1964…I was 19 in the employ of The National Bank..after a year in Clonmel I was transferred on to the Temporary Duty Staff…we were moved aroun to different branches that were shortstaffed thru illness or……my first posting was to Tulla in County Clare…my lodgings were with Mrs Tubridy…I found an old song book in her bookcase which had this song in Irish …..I was 4 months in Tulla and left with two great songs…Spancilhill and The Scariff Martyrs….great memories..I met Paddy Canny, Martin Rochford, Vincent Griffin, Joe McGrath, John Minogue and Willie Clancy
dont worry about “Miss Kildare”
upon subsequent reflection I’ve remembered that “Miss Kildare” featured in a song called “Me & Bibi” that was never released….it was a lengthy rap in the mode of “Me & The Rose”…it recounted my meeting Bibi Baskin, then an important presence on Irish Television…
however Rebecca I must compliment you on placing “ambling kine” so quickly…some incorrectly sing that line as “ambling kind”….but you recognise and understand the difference..thank you

She’d build a mansion fine…
