Hello Christy,
A beautiful badly behaved beast of a harp came to live with me yesterday.
Thank goodness the bugger only has 19 strings. One has pinged off already and it took me half an hour to get it pacified enough to accept a replacement wire.
It’s a wonderful thing, about a third the size of my genial, well mannered lever harp with a voice three times as loud.
A real Celtic warrior of an instrument.
It’s been here a day and already my kit now includes a mallet and a set of pliers.
I’ll be chasing the damn thing round the field for months.
When I got my first guitar my fingers bled until I learnt a chord or two;
I pulled on my Aran sweater, wrote me Ma a goodbye letter
And started singin’ in O’Donoghue’s.

Rory. I read that you were to see “Beauty Queen”. Glad you enjoyed it. A great play. It has everything. McDonagh’s plays pack ‘the lot’ in. Some dont like them; I do.
Hi
I’ve signed to the newsletter but I didn’t receive a presale code.
Would anyone be able to share with me? I have contacted info@christymoore.com but no reply.
Can anyone help please? Thank you x
Ps
What is it with the letter F?
Sometimes used on its own in place of a rude one, sometime used on the edge of a major sharp scale, sometimes used for anonymity and sometimes a combination of all three.
At the mouth of the Foyle….

Hi Christy,
The beauty queen of Leenane was a triumph. Great play, social/family struggles rural ireland in the 80s, the radio oftenon in the background and i picked out ‘Lannigan’s Ball’ which of course you have been playing for many decades!
The play is well worth catching.
