Hi Christy, what a joy the new album is to listen to try comprehend the message that come across in some of the the songs especially the song black n amber, will reach deep in to minds of the a lot of adults like myself now, brought me back to my childhood in Sallynoggin where I was born n raised, I remember seeing you live on stage in the Pavilion theatre in Dunlaogaire on a Sunday with Plantxy and the first time Andy Irvine introduced the hurdi gurdi to an audience, think he mentioned he he saw in Bulgaria and got one while busking there, also what a wonderful performance
on the late late last Friday, looking forward to vicar street gig
Reds Jimmy, ps don’t ever stop writing n recording,
Hi Christy,
congratulation to this great album and the touching video for Boy in the Wild!
Although Essen is not far from Rheinberg and Rheinbach where @Günter and @Pat Darcy already got their albums, I have to wait for another day – or the postman liked it so much that he kept it for himself and you’ve won a new listener😉. Btw, interesting delivery chain: it took less than a day to arrive in Germany, but 3-4 days within Germany – I guess that’s only to keep up my excitement a bit longer…
In the meantime it’s always interesting to read the multinational posts in this guestbook (late late show etc.). And in this case I’m surprised again how small the world is when I read @Ingrid L.’s post. I think we met about eight years ago hiking in Connemara/Burren, chatted about Irish music and now I see her writing in your guestbook again 😊. Unfortunately she chose the first and I the last concert in Vicar St, would have been fun to meet again…
Enjoy your next gig on Thursday, all the best

Ah Christy, my Claddagh records post arrived today. I had forgotten that in pre -order I had a couple of LPs and CDs….
And how wonderful on opening the package to find a beautiful parchment with the text of Boy in The Wild printed, and autographed by yourself.
This has very special meaning as I will explain.
Guess where Gabi and I were last night? In Frankfurt, in the Alte Oper, at Mireille Mathieu’s final gig of her farewell and goodbye concert tour. She was magnificent…she is a young 77, can hardly walk, but stood for a two hour set, and followed with a 30 minute EIGHT song encore…..what a lady.
But my mind did stray a bit…..to the great concerts which you performed in that beautiful venue. And to a very special one about 14 years ago when you gave a great shout out to our then 12 year old son Christo, at his first ever Christy gig.
Nine years later you signed your On the Road album for his 21st in Russell’s.
And now his Christmas present is a copy of your new album, A Terrible Beauty. Including an autographed parchment of Wally’s beautiful Boy in The Wild. From father to Son.
“Boy in The Wild World can’t you see
It’s the way it is……
Lift up your heart.”
Thanks Christy for lifting up all our hearts.
Looking forward to my annual pilgrimage to Vicar St 20th January!
Evening Christy,
The North Curve Bhoys have done it again with another TIFO
