Hello Christy, I will be attending your concert in the National Concert Hall on Saturday 2nd May 2026, and would like to ask if you could sing the song you wrote for Veronica Guerin please? The is one of my favourite songs, and so important that Veronica’s memory is kept alive. Thank you Louise McDonald
Here’s the link to the radio station http://tempofm.co.uk/
The show is FAB Live with Uncle Tone at 9pm tonight.
It’s going to be archived as well. I want to save it. This is the bit I’m struggling to do. Maybe it will make more sense later…
Hello Christy,
Talking about crediting songs. I’ve learnt how important this is from you. I try to always do it, i just hope I’m accurate.
This week I went over to York to record a podcast with Tony Haynes. Do you know him? He’s a radio presenter now but I think he used to run a fok club over in York.
He asked me to pick 6 tracks for him to play. And to choose 5 songs to sing and he would record them.
I took the harp and sang 5 songs, including Little Musgrave. He’d never heard this version before! It’s the version you sing with Planxty. It took me months to learn it. I told him how you’d found the words at Reilly’s auction room on Francis Street in Dublin. How there was no tune with the words, so a tune from Nick Jones was married to the words. He said he’d never heard this version before, he’d heard the Steeleye span version he said. He really liked your version. I hope all this stuff makes it onto the radio show.
It’s going out tonight at 9pm. He couldn’t get it all into an hour so he’s going to use the rest on Good Friday.
I’ll try to post a link. I’m struggling to work out how to do it.
Here’s the two lists
Favourite tracks
Mcilhatton. Christy Moore
Easter Snow, Liam O’Flynn and Catherine Ennis
Hackensack. Wally Page
Inchicore Wake. Christy Moore
Caledonia. Dolores Keane
Aeongus. Christy Moore
Songs I sang
Scarborough Fair
Spancil Hill
Little Musgrave
May Morning Dew
Lemon Sevens
Good morning, Christy.
I’m also sure you had another great gig last night. But I’m sorry for the Irish football team. Great fight, but It’s always sad to lose a penalty shoot out.
A fine weekend to all

Christy's reply
We’ll still welcome them home and encourage them to prep for the next Euros….truth be told, the World Cup is already tarnished by Trump and his despicable cronies….the Berlin Olympics come to mind

I agree with you, Christy. I would say highly tarnished. ( after looking for the translation 🙂 Günter
