Warners, WEA, had to remove the Ordinary Man tape and record from the shelves over that song about the Stardust. The company re-released the album. Part of the marketing ploy was to issue a tape out to local papers who could raffle a copy plus give it publicity. The then ‘Athlone Observer’ newspaper raffled a tape. I won the Observer competition. Hence the origins of my Ordinary Man tape.
Christy's reply
Good man Ed…I hope you were over 18 when you entered that raffle…
Hi Christy, in Limerick from Oban with my wife to see yourself with sister-in-law Rhona and her man Atti. We came over 2018 to see you here planning for Rhona and Atti to get married here but had to put off the wedding, they got married following year. Back this time to celebrate and see you again, if you could give them a shout out it would be much appreciated 🤞🏻 Slainté
Christy's reply
Welcome Back Magic….The Donald is in tonight….its gonna be hard to own the room….I gotta have a full body search before entering stage left….
Fair play to you Christy for the reading in court, and especially to Richard’s mother Helen and his sister Elaine. What an unbelievably painful journey they, and all the Stardust families have had. I hope somehow, sometime they find peace of mind and heart.
Christy's reply
As always Pat…its an uplifting experience to meet the Families of the “Justice For The 48” campaign……..
Hi Christy,
a Long Gig…….if you are willing, sure we will be all there in numbers. Maybe we could make a long weekend out of it, and have a gathering.What about open air, there would be no need for a “Smoke” break.We could circle the Vans and away we go. Hope your reading at the Inquest goes well…. these people really need and deserve justice.
Best Regards.
Patsy
Christy's reply
the “open air gig” brings many potential variables….its hard to bate the old ballad lounge….be it The Auld Sheebeen or The National Concert Hall….I recall some magnificent out door gigs….Lisdoonvarna, Carnsore, Glastonbury, Finsbury Park,Croke park, Punchestown,Randall’s Island…. but, equally, there have been those that remain best forgotten….( but I do remember them ! )
Hi Christy, all I can say is God bless your memory. After thousands of concerts in venues all over the world you still clearly remember the gig in O’Connell School Hall a half a century later – I suppose you didn’t do too many Thursday afternoon gigs in school halls. Philip had his own group ‘Aisling’ at the time and they also played that day before you came on. Although I met him a few times after I regret to say I didn’t keep in regular contact with him. His passion was music and mine was sport so our paths rarely crossed. Our school magazine at the time was called ‘Write up your alley’ and little did we appreciate at the time the scoop to get an interview with yourself and the following month with Horslips I might add. Philip was the driving force behind it and fair play to him he went on to have a great career in music and has left a very decent legacy. My own ambition was to play for the Dubs but the nearest I ever got to that was to stand on Hill 16 ! Thanks for coming back to me and best wishes, Richie
Christy's reply
I was on “The Hill” myself last Sunday….We gave ye a good run
Hi Christy, I might be off the ball on this one but I think the B side of Hey Ronnie Reagan was “ The Ballad of Ballinamore written by Fintan Vallely, I’ve giving them both a lash when requested as they give a great picture in my head as the images appear in the songs. I played a lovely gig on Easter Monday for George Doyle and the Irish Ceilidhe Club of Rhode Island. It was recorded , shaky start but I got past the anxiety and settled down for a lovely 1hr set.
I return to Rhode Island to sing at the unveiling of the Hunger Strikers memorial at the end of this month which will be a very solemn occasion but very honored to be asked, god willin we will meet up in the Tribe County
Love Fin💚
Christy's reply
Good Man Fin….hope Rhode Island goes well for all concerned
Hey Christy, I hope all’s well with you, I wanted to thank you for the gig in Derry, it was an awesome evening in that wonderful city. I loved Rosalita and Jack Cambell, all the practice paid off 🙂 I went on from Derry to see Imelda May that weekend, what a force of nature she is…Regards for now Christy ’till the next time.
Christy's reply
good man Brian….thanks for the call out…Rosalita & Jack Cambell would not have featured without your input..there are so many song I like to sing that seldom get an outing… I sometimes think that I’d love to try a long gig some time..

I have a few new ones on the go here in the workshop……
in the morning I’m going to the “Justice for The 48” Inquest..I’ve been asked by the Mother of Richard Bennett to read his pen portrait into evidence at the inquest….40 years on and the bereaved still seek justice for their loved ones
Hi C. Some precious memories today, it’s good to see Richie corroborate the story you have often told about the late great Phil Chevron and that school gig, not that I ever doubted you !! I will never forget the gig 20 years ago today on Fri 2nd May 2003 in the Premier Ballroom in Thurles it was when I first heard you sing Beeswing I was enthralled and continue to be. Beir bua agus beannacht.H
Christy's reply
I recall the Premier in Thurles too..in particular the catering laid on ….a slice pan, a half pound of butter and a lump of mitchelstown cheddar..a feast fit for a king…
it was a lonely kind of a hall…Donal, Declan and I were just kicking off with the Companeros..
I love how Beeswing has grown in popularity across the years..I love the way the audience sing it gently …
Hi Christy, a test to see how good your memory is – 50 years ago tomorrow, 3rd May 1973, yourself, Andy, Donal and Liam played an afternoon concert inn O’Connell School Hall on the North Circular Road. The hall was packed with more than 600 excited secondary school pupils who came to see what this new folk group Planxty was all about and left as fans for life. The concert was organised by the late great Philip Ryan (later known as Philip Chevron of The Pogues, RIP) and myself as the editors of the school magazine to which you also gave an exclusive interview. It was a great occasion in the school hall and I remember Philip and myself handing you over the concert fee (decent money at the time) behind the stage which thankfully we more than covered by our ticket sales at just 30 pence a ticket. To give a sense of the uniqueness of the day the souvenir programme, of which I still have a copy, was on sale for a single penny at the door. Happy memories from a great time. Anyway I hope all is good with you and I’m still listening to you with to you with the same excitement as 50 years ago, Richie
Christy's reply
Good man Richie…Indeed I remember the wonderful occasion very clearly..often spoke about it with Philip..also wrote about it a few times over the years…I remember ye paid us “in coin”..it was a lovely gig and Philip was a beautiful man …he last wrote me the week before he passed and I have those words beside me here in the work room …his memory lives on,his songs still resound…
Hi C. RIP Gordon Lightfoot, whose melody was borrowed for Back Home in Derry by Bobby Sands, you wrote he ” used the air of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald from Gordon Lightfoot, an air which I suspect has earlier origins ” https://youtu.be/c5_wZmTHfo8 that was some surprise roll call in 2008 with a mention of Maryline from The Bay in the previous song. Beir bua agus beannacht. H
Christy's reply
may he rest in peace…it was Gordon himself who spoke about thus about the melody of his great song….no doubt he wrote the melody himself ….
Hello Christy,
Thank you for the info on Dave Lordan, I’m signed up and reading away at Highbrow Heretics. I’m sure I bought his book Lost Tribe of the Wicklow Mountain. I’ve searched high and low for it but it’s disappeared.
I woke up this morning to find that loads of people have listened to Scarborough Fair on bandcamp. And one person has bought it. I’ve made 74p overnight without doing anything. This has filled the morning with sunshine. How silly and how wonderful.
Good evening Christy, hope all is well. Got back around about Sunday lunch time from a few days in your special green island with my dad. Started off down in County Tipp enjoying fine company in the Cashel folk museum. Hugely impressive and a deep collection of Irish history. Truly wonderful and hosted by a very knowledgable man. We tried to get into the Rock but I think the craws weren’t best pleased seeing us. A plaque in remembrance to the hero Markievicz was recently unveiled. Next on the road trip was a few days at the racing in Punchestown and visit to the Irish stud. Wonderful beasts they are but do cost a leg! Unfortunately I don’t bet EW and lost a fair few quid. Driving over the central and east side of Ireland was a real treat. Such a lovely place. Ended up in Drogheda seeing the young David Keenan, what a lyricist and singer. Nothing on you though mind. I said to the fither that Ireland has all the greats of music but us Scots have the comedians. Sadly we missed the local derby the night before, looked like a right good entertaining game! Hopped back onto the ferry with a fair few coaches of either side of the Glasgow derby (Auld firm long gone..) hopefully the security faced no issues. Hope to be back over to the Emerald Isle soon enough! Take care
Christy's reply
You lads sure know how to make the best of it…fair play to Ye….thanks for sharing the story of your trip
Sure wasn’t I there Christy! We managed to drag him up to Finbarr’s in Cabra, wouldn’t face the puck out! Legged it into the club house where he got stuck into the large bottles and gave a mighty rendition of Kelly, The Boy from Killane!
Hi christy, with son Charlie we toured Ireland this week, he says he may post details and i hope he does, a great lad.
Enthralled on starting by the magnificent heritage museum in cashel ( i hope you can visit) an extrordinary private collection esp 1916-23, and bookended by the extrordinary talent of young Keenan live in Drogheda.
Great trip
Rory
Christy's reply
Good to hear from you Rory…maybe we’ll get to read of your trevails with Charlie..I have Cashel’s Heritage Museum on my list…I have great memories of a season with Cashel RFC back in 1964-5… we trained hard on Large Bottles and limited road work ( to pub)….our star players were Johnny Moroney, Ned Tierney, Frank Hogan and Barney “Joe”Burke….
I look forward to returning to Drogheda… always a great gig town
Mudder a jaysus Christy! The Flour Bags nearly did it!
Goin’ back to “Simo” I had a quick chat with him in Morriseys that weekend at the Fleadh! He said the biggest problem with livin’ in the Phissbro’ end of Drummer was whether to support Shels or Bohs! He said in the end he went with Bohs cause he liked the fact that in the off season loads of supporters turned up in The Hut in Bohs colours roarin’ “Up Down” and rambled off in the opposite direction down the North Circular Road! The Bard of Dalymount was still in short pants! Pauly lost out there!
Christy's reply
as previously reported..the Flour Bags are gathering momentum under the guidance of Glen Ryan and Johnny Doyle….we live in hope more then expectation….those of us who attended the ’98 Final and the ’56 semi-final still live in hope of a return to the glory days of ’28…… as a gasún I heard the old folk talk about Paul Doyle and Larry Stanley, two of Kildare’s last All-Ireland winning team, in my youth we watched local men Miko Doyle, Ray Swan, Paddy Moore & Toss McCarthy run out in our beloved all white strip… we cycled to Athy and Carlow, we travelled in “Begs” McCormacks Beford Van ( half dollar a head) to Croke Park…. we thronged St Conleth’s Park when Meath or Dublin came to Newbridge….
the very last match I attended with our Father was the Leinster Final of 1956…I was 11 and still remember that great day…he died 3 months later aged 41..
I hear that Simo tried his hand at Hurling but bailed out half way thru his first training session
Yes. And I still am. (Over 18 that is)
Warners, WEA, had to remove the Ordinary Man tape and record from the shelves over that song about the Stardust. The company re-released the album. Part of the marketing ploy was to issue a tape out to local papers who could raffle a copy plus give it publicity. The then ‘Athlone Observer’ newspaper raffled a tape.

Good man Ed…I hope you were over 18 when you entered that raffle…
Hi Christy.. hopefully today was another important step toward justice for the Stardust victims’ families.. Your support has been unwavering to them and no doubt they draw great strength from it. Hope it is ok to post this link from RTÉ: https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2023/0503/1380481-stardust-inquest/?fbclid=IwAR2Xd0Kq3qPeW2XvpMMUGYn_Km8cAaOn3J7t5tj2FnaVUcpe2PVgD_g21rc

Hello Christy,
Please can I wish you the very best this morning in court. Those families need all the friends they can get. I hope it goes well.
I was doing a quick search for the school magazine from your school gig, “Write up your alley”. No luck, I wonder if anyone still has a copy of that Planxty interview… Found this instead.

You sent me straight here
Lost Tribe of the Wicklow Mountains
Dave Lordan/Christy Moore
I believe in them so they do exist.
Way up in the Wicklow Mountains tis easier to hide than you think
Back in behind them waterfalls
Deep down in sunless crevices
In rhodedendroned foliage
On slopes of fluttering shadow and scree.
Nothing speaks of this tribe apart from these words.
They could be waifs running free from the lead mines
They could be orphans out of ballads and poems
They could be rebels who outran the redcoats
They could be ravers, they could be Wiccans
Who squat above in high ruins
Cavorting at thousand-day hooleys
Beneath great roofless halls
Turning to foxes at midnight
They plough through the motorway snow
To scavenge suburban dustbins
Down around Newtownmountkennedy
Down around Newtownmountkennedy
This Tribe has no patterns
Fits no description
Nothing about it translates
Apart from its existence
No reasons no thesis no customs no goals
The Tribe is my credo … that’s all
Strong is my faith, strong is my Beat
Strong is my magic, strong is my Want
And wanting I will rise, up alongside them
Spinning into the mist, ne’er to be seen again
High above Mullaghacleevaune
Some of our boys
To the hills they have gone away
More of them have been shot
And some are far out at sea
Michael Dwyer of the mountain
Has plenty of cause for his spleen
For the loss of his own
Loyal comrades who died on the green
Dave Lordan is stiil to the good..still raving,ranting,railing and ruling the roost at Highbrow Heretics
