Hello Christy.Looking forward to trip over the County Bounds for a night of music and song with yourself. A few rebels traveling tommorow night Tony and Fiona Murphy. Myself and my cousin Ronan a big fan of you and your music and song. Roll on tommorow night .Sweet music roll on.
Was lucky to have been in Vicar St for the recently mentioned segue from The Contender into Bright Blue Rose.. two gems that go really well together.. Hoping to make it to Lawlor’s Ballroom Naas tonight for a full house with HSP.. though we gotta leave early.. saw a sign this morning from a protester that said “Iran this, Iran that, I-ran out of diesel!”..
Christy's reply
my last time in Lawlor’s Ballroom in Naas was back 1962….we cycled from Newbridge to hear Brendan Bowyer & The Royal…
Deportees…
I was lucky enough to hear Arlo Guthrie & ensemble perform this at Port Fairy Folk Festival some years back
Arlo told the the audience that he’d just recently learned of the name of each person whose life was lost
Harrowing but engrossing , moving tribute
G’day all: glad to see you all up & about.
As ever, thanx Christy for oh well you know
Regards

How are you, Christy! Myself, my Dad and my Brother will be flying over to see you in Killarney this Saturday. It’s been a while as we usually see you in London (I just looked it up the last gig there-I can’t believe it was 2019 at Southbank! Great gig as always). Delighted to have an excuse to visit my Dad’s home county, The Kingdom, anyway (myself and Brother are just flying for the one night to see you!). Looking forward to cheering you on and soaking up the atmosphere once again. All the best, Christy! Christine, Adrian & Owen
Christy's reply
here’s hoping we can all gather in The Kingdom tomorrow night…a lot of chaos here at the moment…fingers crossed
Hello Christy,
Hope all is well with you. Cassette tapes. Those portable cassette recorders were all the rage when I was in my teens. Little plug in microphone and you were away. I’ve no idea what happened to all my tapes. There is a cupboard in Steve’s office that is too high to get into without a ladder. Maybe I need to have a look, it’s probably 2 decades since I was in there.
Your early find in the P W Joyce book, the Curragh of Kildare is being very lucky for me. It got me the hour on TempoFM with Tony Haynes and now the same video has got me a chance to record a few songs as part of the Narrowboat Sessions. They want traditional songs all acoustic. Getting the gig is one of the best feelings, isnt it!!!
Hope your songs are swimming, swirling and swooping.
Hi Christy,
In a box of old photo’s I found a cassette tape. In the little box was a note with the text “my playlist” in my handwriting. It,is from the early sixties, I must have been about 15 years old at the time. It is a weird mixture of musicgenres with names like Sinatra, Bo diddley, Roy Orbison, f. Domino, but also an Austrian polka, a German schlagersong , jaques Brel….the strange thing is the ending “the andante from Mozarts piano concerto nr 21”
Meanwhile, other names have been added and some music has dropped out, but Mozart has remained. The power of classical music?
My granddaughter Floor is in Suriname since January (to June).
Her sister Frauke is currently visiting her. Together they will make beautiful memories, isn’t that sweet?
Love, moeke

Hi C Here is the review of the Sallins Inquiry Now gig in Vicar St from HP, it’s great that it has received such media attention. https://journalofmusic.com/reviews/confronting-long-shadow-sallins?utm_source=The+Journal+of+Music+in+Ireland+Newsletter&utm_campaign=2c28e69c69-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_5_20_2021_13_47_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_9c6415866a-2c28e69c69-334502277
All roads lead to Killarney on Sat, allowing for fuel shortages and blockades !!! It’s sure to be another cracker, safe travelling all. Beir bua agus beannacht. H

Brilliant,Christy
Deportees being played on Appalachian dulcimer here..
What an uplifting thought that Woody’s songs are always popular….never more than when they’re most needed…
Thanks
