Hello Christy, just saw Pat darcy mention the song “The Time Has Come”. The hairs stand the back of my neck when I hear that beautiful song and I think of our Legends from the Blocks. We may have brave Men, but we’ll never have better. may they rest in peace.
Christy the gig was great,
In the bar before i met a man who knew Pat Magee, the singing of scapegoats was special and the dedication to Paddy Hill ( damn i thought i had recorded it but seemed to have failed to press record, technology is not my friend) anyway when i got home my wife gave me some ‘extra year day’ gifts inc an autobiography signed by Gerry Conlon, a Warwickshire miners strike tie and a donation to Paddy Hill’s MOJO charity….strange how things work out.
Keep on keeping on.

Hi Christy, Rory tells me you performed ‘the time has come’ last night. A terribly poignant song, and lovely that Shane McClelland brought his parents, his mother Theresa a sister of Raymond McCreesh. Back in the day I had many a happy visit to Camlough, visiting my friends and fellow students McParlands and McCreeshs. Ray visited my Irish language class in Dundalk often….such great people, such a sacrifice.
Christopher, I lived in Hell with my RSPCA, rescued cat, and named him after you. A neighbor was meant to be caring for Christy while I was away with suicidal depression. On my return, I discovered that the neighbors had read my personal dream analysis. The gossip poisoned the air, and it spread like wildfire, and became a twisted Chinese Whisper of HATE & HURT!
Later, I returned from working in Greece, only to find my lodger had tortured and murdered Christy. There was blood all over the stairs and walls. Christy was dead!
I fell into a Nightmare of suicidal, hallucinatory, nervous breakdown. I have spent 30 years recovering from the effects of a public breakdown.
Please do not mock those who are less powerful than you. christy RIP.
Hello Christy,
Glad to hear you sounding so energised and chatty. It gave me such a buzz when you saw us last night!
I enjoyed your vocal forays into the lower register very much. The whole voice is lovely but, for me, those bass tones are gorgeous. Hope you don’t mind me saying… and I hope to hear lots more.
I tried to catch some of the low lilting from Welcome to the cabaret on my phone. Missed it, your third one was up the octave.
The whole gig felt lovely, so many great people in the room. The set matched them.
Hope Mick is doing ok, I don’t think we saw him.
I’m sitting looking at the sea through a big window right at the front of the boat. Living right in the middle of the land, going to see the sea is exciting. Lots of memories of years ago on family holidays.
Hope the voice is purring today and your recording bears fruit.

Thank you so much Christy for singing Nancy Spain for us! It was such an emotional moment to us and made the evening even more special!
We enjoyed every second of the concert!
And what a wonderful surprise it was listening to Andy singing with you! Thanks to him as well.
It was well worth taking the trip!!!
Hope to see you again soon

A mighty gig indeed…..an added bonus to see and hear you sing with Andy again , the happiness on your face was something to behold. Ye farly rattled out the 16 Jolly Ravers… Great to hear it amongst the set again. Also love to hear Cry like a Man when it appears.
Not sure re Roy Keanes ad….. think it’s for Sky Mobile…. maybe it’s done with good reasons .
Hi Christy,, for the many years I’ve been coming to see you last night’s was up there as the best. Brilliant set, some old favourites carefully blended with the new songs. The added bonus to see you and Andy perform together. He really complimented your singing and it was a joy to see you both on stage. Tears were flowing, Sonny’s Dream and the Voyage,, a lovely reminder of the passing of my father and son. Scapegoats and Stardust a great reminder of the importance of song to maintain history. Thanks again for a wonderful evening and if god spares me I hope to see you in Armagh in April.
