What I love most about the way you sing Piper’s Path is the way you set an atmosphere. When I listen, I can almost see my breath in front of me. We’re all good here in Chapel Lane thanks and I’ll be keeping an eye out for one of them typewriters for you at the markets.
Dear Christy never mind a hair trigger heart but hair trigger mouse! See you in the January for the pilgrimage. The grand vizier Ticketmaster looked favourably on me. I will keep hale and hearty and bring the daughter. My regards to yourself and your family and to the good lads. xx
Thanks Christy for the explanation about the name and picture. I’d love to have a chat with Martin about the inspiration behind it…does seem like a revolutionary moment….
Just to back up what Hilary said, I got the link, got in at 9:50, was up for it at 10, and got my tickets for 20th Jan. no bother….well just that Ticketmaster wanted me to pick an Irish county and a local air code for my address! The German one not to their liking. Well no bother supplying Co. Louth and the brother’s air code….sure the tickets are in my computer now, no need for postal stuff!
Just like last year, looking forward to the final Vicar St gig of this set! And by then the new album will have had many a spin here!
Wonderful how you find the energy and inspiration to produce new master pieces, go raibh míle maith agat a chara!
Thank you so much for all this great news, the new album and the Vicar Street gigs.
I pre-ordered the album yesterday, as others have said the track list looks excellent and the cover is beautiful (perhaps the gallery you mentioned have prints for sale, I will investigate when I’m in Dublin).
And this morning I booked the gig tickets. As Hilary reported, Ticketmaster was quite straightforward today, I found it better than previously. I also logged in at about ten to ten, watched the minutes and seconds count down to on-sale, then by six minutes past ten I had tickets for two gigs. December 5th for me on my own, and January 20th for my husband, Mike, and me. Then Mike and I are staying the whole week afterwards for TradFest – three of the Stephen Rea events, Louise Mulcahy, Emma Langford and finishing with Tom Paxton and Ralph McTell on the Sunday evening. Altogether it should be a wonderful week.
Hi Christy,
I only realized I have never subscribed to the newsletter there now. I’m hoping to get up to vicar st, it was the venue I’ve been meaning to see you in. as the song nearly goes.. your parents say not Christy Moore you’ve heard him loads of times before..
And fair play to you with the album starting with the Black & Amber .. discovered on an aul pub that was built over if i recall.. something along those lines perhaps.
I must say, along with the well below the valley, you’d have to hear it in person to get the real sense of the song, especially in the echoes of the opera hall.
I’m going to chance my arm here to see if anyone has a ticket for any Thursday gigs, I believe it’s beyond your power Christy.
Best of luck with the tour and album.

Morra Matty,
Greetings from Bundoran, County Donegal…tension is mounting…Its 19.45 and I’m due on in 20 minutes…everything is in place.good soundcheck, lights focused, crew fed, doors opened…from my window I watched a thousand people queue on a beautiful autumn evening, the Atlantic shoosing and rolling 100 yards away, the sun sinking slowly making a beautiful backdrop for the gathering listeners….
I’m just about ready now, got the 5 minute call, hope you get sorted for a thursday ticket
Hi C re Ticket Sales. I was online at 9.50am, there was no Q which was good, on the dot of 10am tickets became available and the process moved swiftly with lots of options. I have heard from people in the EU,UK, Ire & N Ire and there was very little if any trouble, one person in Belgium found it easier on the mobile phone rather than the laptop go figure!! I had contact from one guy who in USA who did n’t check the email that he used to register with your site but when he remembered the link was there. I’m registered with 2 different emails and both received the link yesterday. I have found that some people register on your site using rarely used email addresses, I guess for security, but then they don’t remember and the links can be languishing in an obscure email !! Or of course people change provider which is always a bit of a hassle and then do n’t re register !!! It’s a very tense time buying tix as several listeners buy multiple gigs, oh but the excitement of Vicar St in winter !! GRAMMA for keeping on with this important tradition and without ” dynamic pricing ” Beir bua agus beannacht. H

Thanks for the bit of positivity…all the team put a lot of prep into these events to insure that it works properly and fairly for everyone concerned….
I’m blest with dynamic listeners…….I’ll gladly settle for that…its a shame to see the two mancs turn into such greedy chaps
I also never received the email with the presale code for the vicar street gigs, despite being signed up for Newsletter could I get one please. Checked the aul spam and junk folders but no sign. Technology’s a wonderful thing when it works 🙂 Really hoping to bring a couple of pals to your November 28th gig.
Thanks for any info,
Alan

Hi Alan (and all who are experiencing difficulty with tickets.)…
I’ve spoken to those who deal with ticketing…
Its outside my area..
I try to turn up and sing the songs,I keep practicing..
but I dont actually sell the tickets…
I hope you get sorted….
I am powerless over this situation
it appears to have worked for thousands of listeners since yesterday morning but thats no comfort to you…..regrets
Hello Christy,
By heck! yon ticketmaster takes some navigating… hope everyone has got the tickets they want or, at least, some tickets…
We’ll be there on 5th and 12th January. 3rd row table and then 2nd row table, stage right!
Steve retires in December so we’re having a jaunt in January for a week or so in Ennis at the Old Ground Hotel, all with a kind and prevailing wind. Now with two lovely vicar street gigs in amongst, to look forward to.

I’d go back to hard tickets for sale at the venue but that does not work anymore… we tried it a few years back but none sold …. we gave the seats back to Ticketmaster who had no problem moving them on….its the way of the world ( but unlike certain hungry hoors we dont go dynamic )
maybe we’ll revert to cash on the door on the night, neat dress essential, the Parish Priest reserves the right to refuse admission, Dancing 12-3 .mineral bar only free bicycle parking.strictly no knee trembling agin the back wall

Hello Christy,
I’m sorry if I’ve made this any more stressful for you than it was already. It’s the last thing I’d want to do

not at all ..no problem…my Brother Andy in Cork always maintains that Pressure is only for Tyres
