Have to say Christy! Wasnt that the night, 1972, the Late Late peaked! Planxty, The Chieftains, and Knocks finest! John Conneely!
Can never pass up a chance to talk about, or listen to Frank Harte! Didn’t he also supply “The Bonny Light Horseman” and “The Little Drummer”? Those albums he recordeded with Donal Lunny are timeless classics! Encyclopedias in their own right!
Always loved this video of Frank and Shay Healy rambling around Chapo! No musical references just Frank giving a history of the village! I always drive through Chapo instead of going round by Heuston Station coming in the Galway Road!
Thanks for the Frank Harte and Shay Healy….lovely to see them amble around Chapelizod….two long standing buddys fondly remembered and sadly missed… Yes Gipp, Frank shared both songs mentioned with Planxty and other besides… Shay hosted manys the transmission back in the day..his Nighthawks programme on RTE TV one of the best ….great to watch and to visit…
John Conneeley’s dance on that old Late Late often referenced…for a man that once suffered a broken back his step dancing was an inspiration…..
after that show we had a “flat warming”…. it was a wild hooley, Gardaí attended, all in all, a memorable occasion all of 52 years ago
Christy, the sky was a beautiful pink this morning, it sent me in search of the pink disc.
Lawless sprang out at me.
He was lawless by name, Lawless by nature, trouble right from the start.
His ‘son’ is still running a recording studio near the docks, good lad.

Always thought Johnstown Bridge is in kildare but the Johnston Estate Hotel is in Meath… across the borderline ???
Reminds me of Killaloe/Ballina… Clare/Tipp
Across the bridge…
Anyway best thing to do is go and see for ourselves….. go for the 3 in a row .

re Johnstown……be it The Royal or The Shortgrass,I’m lining up all my Flourbag Ballads for Sunday night…Benediction may being considered if we can locate a willing celebrant …perhaps a newly arrived cleric ,here to save the white babies
Listening to all of the reports of war and bombings throughout the world and grateful for the peace we have these days. Not perfect but hopefully getting there. Thankfully we have the music to help keep the spirits up, but also to educate us about what’s happening. Funny how a song seems to tell the story better than any number of reporters. As Frank Harte said “Those in power write the history, those who suffer write the songs”. Stay safe Christy, and regards to all of the crew.

I miss Frank….late night phone calls asking for a song down the line……or “come on Moore, get up off your arse and lets go to Mullaghbawn to hear a few songs….Frank Harte’s 6 albums often referenced and played here….
2am…phone rings…”give me that one about The Bees”
A lovely memory from Planxty at The Point in 2004…I spotted him there in the audience, big smile on his face, celebrating the songs and tunes…Frank pointed us towards songs… The Good Ship Kangaroo , As I Roved Out and others
Hi Christy, still thinking about the great gig in Bundoran and I found myself humming your songs since then while hiking through Ireland’s beautiful west and climbing the reek (o.k., here I needed my breath for the way up instead of humming 😉 ).
Funny coincidence: In a pub in Westport a guest sang two songs I know from you. Later on we had a little chat and she asked me whether I’d knew the song “Sail on Jimmy”. She hardly believed me when I told her that this was the song I asked you to sing in Bundoran (which you kindly did :-)). She said that Albert Niland is her neighbour, her brother has taught him how to play the guitar and that the video to the song has been shot at another neighbour’s house. Unfortunately I wasn’t yet able to find this video (only a link that’s marked as “private”…).
Now I’m heading back to Dublin to meet my friends and then have an originally not planned (as you added that gig after I booked my trip), but the more welcomed “stop over” in Enfield, right in time before heading back home on Monday. So now I’m looking forward to the second highlight of my trip at the end of a beautiful tour while humming along the ordinary man and, as I just read about it below Cumann na mná as well ;-).
Thank you for contributing so much to my good mood.

Hello Christy,
Oh Moeke, another great strategy for getting our hands on the Vicar St tickets. Well done to Ilke!
So I turned up at the Health and Safety briefing yesterday thinking I was going to get two hours on tripping hazards and what to do if someone spills a cup of coffee. Turned out to a be a session with the guy in charge of counter-terrorism for the North East of England. You live and learn…
I found the video from 1972 of Planxty on the Late Late Show. The blacksmith with its smithereens at the end with Liam and Christy.
Led me to something muscular. https://youtu.be/-mjWhMn-VnU?si=1u6G6I2WIHYmhA2M

Music to my ears. I first saw the Chieftains in person in Berkely. CA in the early 80’s. I will never forget it. I rarely give a standing ovation, because like with tipping – for me – you have to earn it. They got my wholehearted standing ovation. If a standing ovation is real, you just cannot stay in your seat, out of, your having been so enthusiastically moved. I used to listen to the Barry Lyndon movie sound track over and over, until I had Iearned of this band called the Chieftains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpQHhzzYphA&t=281s

Hi Christy, I was doing a bit of strumming there in the living room and my father requested “oo ah cumann na mná” (in his words). It’s definitely been in our heads the last month or two since wexford.
I got the ticket in the end for Thu 07, I’ll be hanging around Dublin and getting the full experience hopefully as it’s my first time in Vicar St, and I should be able to hear you at table 5. I was wondering is there anything you’d recommend nearby Vicar St that you’d been to previously?
Best of luck with the preparations as always.

Christy's reply
I think there is a 4711er’s facebook site out there …..some listeners gather there and share …they might have some info for you…
I cant hang about nearby ….too much to do before and after gigs keeping body and soul together…I used to hang out around Thomas St in the 1960s-70s but all my old haunts have fallen into dust or neon hell…I hope you have a good trip to Vicar St….
I’m getting ready for album launch here….new corset, teeth whitened, measured up by Louis Copeland…playing in Kildare this week ( even tho some seem to think that Johnstownbridge is in Co Meath)
Moeke; you got there eventually, good. Can be frustrating at the time I know, but when you eventually get there, bingo! If you’re there and wind up with nothing, it is frustrating. Obstructed view, you mightnt really ultimately know until you get there, perhaps a diagonal view towards the stage but still giving you view of the stage and artist.
R: Health and Safety? Elaborate. While on the subject, lots of local authoities here, RoI, with money to spend, they spent money on new council headquarters. Some nice council chambers, I’ve been in a few, Co Laois has a nice council chamber.
I was in Ostend when I received your email regarding Vicar street. Luckily I had my tablet with me.
September 19, a day in the life of Moeke. Ready at 10 am – nothing happens – o yes, Irish time is not the same as Belgian time, so wait an hour and then log IN to Ticketmaster..M is too slow..OUT
IN password TM, not with me – OUT
IN new password requested- OUT
IN phone nummer error – OUT
IN tried again – error -OUT
Gave up in despair after 5 turns, sent email to Ilke ( daughter)
She also struggled for a while but mysteriously she got tickets. Although, due to the loss of time, not “seats with a view” but with an obstructed view.
Today everything is okay, tickets, plane and hotel. The countdown can begin. 88 more sleeps and then: vicar street here we are
Hello Christy,
The rats and the worms were still as mice in the guestbook.
I’m on my way into Halifax on the bus. There’s a big meeting to tell us all about Health and Safety this morning. It’s in the Council chamber, very old and full of leather and dark shiny wood. It’s built in the round so it’s always good to be in there.
The Garden is above Penn Station, which is the rail link to dense, suburban Long Island, so LIDs (Long Island…) are overrepresented at MSG events, and always looking for an excuse to make it about them. I suspect most, of the crowd would have applauded, but many for the wrong reason. He may be a convert, but Dylan is ethnically Jewish. That likely would have been a factor in his failure to act, which is no excuse:
If you’re looking to get silly
you better go back to where from you came
Because the cops there don’t need you,
and man they expect the same.
Christy's reply
Now you’re talkin
give us more of that
I’m ethnically Kildare/Meath/Kilkenny/Westmeath..
thats without going too far back….
but thats no excuse for sitting on my hands
“Paddy lay back Take in the slack
Take a turn around the capstan, heave away

For we’re bound for Valparaiso ’round the horn”
Hello Christy,
I didn’t know about the thing that happened to Sinéad at the Bob Dylan tribute gig. So I watched the video.
I was overwhelmed by her bravery. All performers know how terrifying gigs and audiences can be, even in the very best circumstances. And this was so very far from that. It was a truly terrifying sight, even to watch it all these years later.
I want to honour Sinéad with this post. To offer my heartfelt awe, love and admiration for her courage and spirit. And to her musical colleagues who supported her.
I have great respect for all performing musicians. This is one of the bravest things I’ve ever seen.
Hi Christy,
Bob was standing in the wings confused that Sinéad
had not sung I believe in you as planned.
From Rememberings …
“I feel like Bob Dylan is the one who should have
come out and told his audience to let me sing.
And I’m pissed that he didn’t. So I glare at him
in the wings as if he’s my big brother who just told
my parents I skipped school.
He stares back at me baffled. He’s looking all handsome
in his white shirt and pants. It’s the weirdest thirty seconds
of my life”
Could he have done more than Kris Kristofferson ? I dunno.
Kris has checked out and moved up to Willie’s house in Texas.
Joins his good companeros Johnny and Waylon.
Hank too. Patsy and Loretta …
Here comes that rainbow again is one of the greatest
songs he ever wrote. And he had some.

You have cleared up a misconception of mine Bourkey…In my mind I assumed Dylan to be preparing for his gig ,away in a dressing room or trailer as mayhem confronted young ,brave and beautiful Sinéad…to learn that he stood side stage thru it all is , to say the least, very disappointing….
that said, we all have our own baggage to carry, our own shortcomings, insecurities and fears…Dylan, in his unique way, has done more than his fair share of lifting across a long life…
Kris Kristofferson has always come across as sound and solid man…may he rest among the songsters passed…
Sinéad is remembered every day, her spirit lingers
Dear Christy do you remember the Midlands festival in 2007? Muddy Mullingar!
I went to see you but now I look back and think wasn’t I blessed to see Kris Kristofferson though??!
I swear Me and Bobby Mcgee is just in the blood.
So thanks. X
Christy's reply
That Midlands Festival was run by the late John Reynolds (1965-2018). John was a dreamer and a visionary.I first met him when he was in his teens helping to run gigs in his Father’s Hotel in Longford. Thats where his dream of creating gigs,venues and Festivals began.I first played for John at his Electric Picnic in Stradbally.Last time we met was at his Leonard Cohen gig in Kilmainham,Dublin. John is remembered and missed.
Hey Christy,
I’m trying to organize a trip from Long Beach, CA to see you to celebrate my 50th birthday. It looks like all the tickets for your 12/30 show at Vicar Street are sold out. Any ideas on how best to locate tix? Are there trustworthy resale sites or any other recommendations?
Last time I saw you was 21 years ago in New York, I think. Always been a dream to see you live in Ireland.
Cheers!

Hello Christy,
I felt like wandering aeongus would describe the morning so I went looking. So many people have recorded it. I like your versions the best. They get to the heart of the matter. It sounds like all unnecessary artifice has gone. Glitter and rouge. https://youtu.be/rz_m8TnHhYw?si=Fn5TB34Qcv-9xzLs
