My name is Trudy-Belle! I am writing to say a very Happy 80th Birthday from your number one fan! I am only 9 years old but I know good music when I hear it.
Thank you for all of your lovely folk music . My favourite song of yours is Joxer goes to Stuttgard! I was so lucky to perform this song during our christmas play .I even did a project about you the irish music hero for my teacher and friends in 3rd class.
I am learning the mandolin from my Dad and I have a few good tunes already.
Have a super day and thanks again for the music .

Dear Christy,
A huge happy birthday from your lifelong fans, the Dillon family. We attended your show before Christmas, and you dedicated a song to our parents, Mary and Eamon. Your music has been a constant companion on all our family road trips, and now you’ve become a part of yet another special memory.
Hope you have a brilliant birthday!
We wish you a Really HAPPY 😃 BIRTHDAY 🎂 Christy and congratulations and continued good health. It is very special to hit 80 and we hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends. Best wishes from Anneke and John Delaney.
Happy birthday Christy! Hope you have the best day and looking forward to a big party on Saturday in the Keadeen!! Great achievement for you on the new video, another cracker of a song from Wally. Will miss his gigs in the Annesley House, always a great buzz. Ride on,

Happy 80th birthday from Newfoundland! You are a true gem! We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with those dearest to you.
God Bless,

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays. I remember the first time I saw you, just magical, since then many changes, not seen you for years – but you’ve remained the soundtrack in my life. Thank you.
Happy, healthy birthday to you xx
Le each dea-ghuí ar do bhreithlá. It’s been a fantastic journey and it continues on, full throttle. Aren’t you a fresh man for your age 😉 Enjoy this very special day x
sending you best wishes for your 80th birthday, and to say a very simple but heartfelt “Thank You” for everything over the years.
I could push this keyboard for the rest of the day with my gratitude to you for the “Personal” touch, the way you make it possible for all 4711’ers to connect with you, but I’ll hold off ’till your 90th !
Continued good health Christy, troubadour….. legend….. star.
From Kildare’s fields where the Lilywhites roam,
You found your voice, your truth, your tone.
A ballad born of hearth and heart,
You turned each stage into a work of art.
“Ride on,” you sang, through years and miles,
With harmonies that softened all our trials.
A soul who knew, in song and lore,
That every verse could beg a big Encore!
You brought Lisdoonvarna to life in rhyme,
And filled Soho nights with Irish time.
You gave the lonesome tunes their flair,
And taught the way to repair to Kildare.
Still you “sail on,” bold and free,
A sailor on life’s melodies.
If it’s music you want, just lend an ear—
Your voice still rings so rich and clear.
Eighty years—a voyage grand,
With countless souls who’ve held your hand.
So raise a glass, let stories pour—
The songs still sung, and will forevermore!
Happy 80th Christy! Thank you for being such a part of our lives. Wishing you health and happiness over the next year, and can’t wait to see you in Newbridge on Saturday!
David, Elizabeth, Clement & Geraldine, Naas & Kill.
