Hi Christy,
I’m lucky to be coming back to see you again on May 30th in the NCH, and bringing two special guests with me, my two young daughters. They have grown up to your songs and are looking forward to seeing you live. Emma is 11 and does a good rendition of My Little Honda 50, Olivia is 13 and her favourite is The Voyage. Looking forward to a special night. If you could say hello to them it would be great.
All the best,
Ronan
Hi Christy,
I returned to Duisburg now, just half an hour ago.
Thanks for playing “Victor Jara” yesterday in this shimmiring magical night in the National Concert Hall. I thought the audience would be more reserved, but that was a real phantastic relationship and cooperation in the whole venue. When the audience sing, it felt like everybody is knowing that something special is happening. And its great to see that huge joy you had that evening.
But who is asking you for retirement? No need to step back if you can create and enjoy such kinds of gigs. I always tell that, but now I am sure, I have seen the best Christy Moore concert, which is worth every effort. So I am looking forward for the Vicar Street dates and I guess I will find one or two concerts that fit in my working schedule.
And of course, my offer stands. If you want to see the „Dead Trousers“ in a huge stadium, seating, it is an honour for my wife to give her ticket to you. (17th of july in Cologne) Thats what she told me. Exactly!
See you and stay strong.
What a night in the NCH, so good to hear many old songs. All the memories of where I heard them first and whom I was with came flooding back. Too many loved ones and old friends gone, but as you say they are still with us. My daughter and I had a wonderful night, she was very quick to tell me it was the best gig she’d been to, you’re getting better with age no doubt about it ! THANKS
Christy's reply
You are very welcome Jean
my working life has been inspired and extended by the arrival of new generations of listeners…many older songs have been revitatlsed and new songs made welcome….last night a good example…a German listener requested “Victor Jara” a Nova Scotian “Magdalen Laundry” and a New Yorker asked for “The Raggle”…I gain fresh energy from the enthusiasm generated at every gig….
Thank you…all you good listeners…Ye keep the show on the road !
Hi Christy,
Great weekend for the Lake County, the Ladies & Gents delivered a Leinster title…. The one in a row is still on. To cap it off you delivered a top class performance in the NCH. A fantastic set list, that just ebbed and flowed with ease. Thanks Christy for keeping the Songs alive, many of which would now be lost but for yourself.
Best regards.
Ride on.

Westmeath surging ahead as GAA takes centre stage in Lake County….Monday Morning and Moate at a standstill…neighbouring counties look on in awe and wonder at this rare turn of events….Go for it Patsy….most of Leinster now firmly behind you
Back in. Kildare, what a great performance tonight Christy. I could nearly hear Liam’s pipes when you sang the Cliffs. Mesmerising. Great to see you enjoying the gig and sounding so well. All the best, Dec.
Well Christy,
That was some song list tonight what a variety and thanks for the shout out, God willing next year 🙏.
I am back at the hostel packing to head back to Halifax and what a way to end the trip. I was lucky to have visitwdWexford/Kilmore Quay where my great great grandfather lived and left from for Nova Scotia to make a better life in the 1820’s, I experienced Newgrange, visited some pubs and walked for miles and tonight was another highlight. Thank you so much for your effort and dedication to Ireland and the stories that need to live on.
All the best, Brendan the long hauler
Hi Christy, hope you had a better day than I had today and your gig went well. My favourite soccer team has been relegated to the third division today – unnecessarily, but without a doubt deserved😒. I hope we don’t need the Toten Hosen now for a second time to save us from getting broke in division 3…
@Günter: I must admit that I (like you) hadn’t expected that your team doesn’t have to be promoted to meet mine again…
Nonetheless, music is good cure for this disappointment, though – be it listening or playing it myself which I both did after the match. Music keeps or brings the spirit up again. And some cheer ups from other 4711ers helped too 🤗.
So let’s keep on keeping on!

You must plough on and follow your hearts into whatever lies ahead,,,,,this new division will allow you to rebuild your team and ,in due course, return to your field of dreams…..
Hi Christy,
One of my favourite verses from one of my favourite songs.
Never been to Glasgow.
But one of these days …
Take a trip to Paradise and The Barrowlands
to jitterbug and boogie the night away.

Nancy whiskey I chanced to smell
I got in sat down beside her
Seven long years I loved her well”
