I have a photo of a play in Navan years ago and, according to legend, your Mam is in it. Have you an email address I could send it to and I’ll ping it over.
Still love you Christy, what a set list that was on your latest chat post.. It has been too long since I came to one of your amazing gigs… So, my New Year resolution – get back to Ireland and get blown away again…
Happy Christmas to you and yours.. and to Declan of course 🙂
Great photo of the commons team Christy. The rubber is a relation of mine. Heard the sons play in the sarsfields club about a year ago, and very talanted lads they are….the rubber was up givin it wellie for a couple of songs. Never lost the Tom Jones voice..on another note, I was away when you were playing in Lough Rynn Castle. I only live about five minutes from there, ye could have dropped in for a cup of bovril or something…maybe next time…Hope you have a very peaceful and musical Christmas.

Good man Larry, Lough Rynn is a lovely spot and we had a right good time there..got to hear Mick Blake sing…what a great songwriter he is
Christy,
Really looking forward to the gig on Sunday. It will be my first time seeing you after years listening. Myself and my wife are very excited. Hope you’re well. One love.
You know, you’re sounding better all the time, Christy. The voice is deeper, richer, has more of the soil in it than ever. And you still fear no note. Fills me with good feelings listening to you. Lifts me. All the best! DL
Christy's reply
Thanks Doug, lovely start to this day to hear from the Canadian Woods..my sister posted on your “Songs are Holy” just the other day..a lovely piece with a stunning picture…
Am a singer/songwriter currently working in ‘sink estate’ with a brief of supporting community to make the change it wants to see. Community wants dealers out and safe environment particularly for kids. Community ‘says’ it will take action, (not yet defined) community clams up when follow up chat encourages action. Is community scared? Making me nervous. Whacker Humphries keeps goin through my head. Should I walk away, abandonment feels safe/wise but inhumane and cowardly. Any thoughts? ideas? suggestions? btw totes ok if ‘no comment’ x
Christy's reply
my only thoughts are… we must follow our instincts..we must weigh up our own situation, then make our own decision…..I can not offer any advice nor suggestion..all I can share is my own experience…I recognise some of the things you describe….let us sing what we feel, write what we can, whilst we cannot change the world we can help by simply doing the best we can….sometimes its necessary to walk away from certain situations…the questions you ask here can only be answered within the community you describe….sounds like they might need a singer /songwriter to help them find their way
Hi Christy,
new to your site but a big fan for years, [ fellow Kildare man ]
amateur song writer and wondering do you accept songs ?
keep up the good work, thanks
Christy's reply
there is a place at our sister site 4711ers.org where it is possible to share songs..
I’ve been listening to your live rendition of Fairy Tale Of New York over and over again today. I love YOU babe! Oh, and my name is Stephen…the eyes (like everything else) are not what they used to be.
Christy's reply
Mid-night, one more night without sleeping..Green Door, whats that secret you’re keeping… carrot juice is your only man
Hi christy
I just want to thank you for play Little Musgrave for my aunt last night in vicar st. She said it made her night. She said it was a brilliant gig.
Christy, Just thinking back to childhood days in the old Town at this time of year.Looking forward to the “holliers”, going up the Town to “Head” Dowlings (or was it Dolan). Standing and staring for ages at the Dinky cars and lorrys in the window,and “I bags that and that”.The sound and smell of the cap guns on Christmas morning,and the Mammies doing ten things at once,and trying to get us out to Mass.,heres to them all… Nollaig Shona.
Christy's reply
It was “Head” Dolans…It was run by Miss (Pat) Dolan, Mrs Dolan and her Daughter Anne. Manys the day I gazed in at Miss Dolans sparkling toys.Thats where the Meccano Sets, Fire Engines, Cowboy Suits,Ludos,Dolls and Prams all originated. I think they might have done a bit of stationary on the side.I’d forgotten the smell of the caps til you mentioned it…do you remember the stink bombs been let off in the picture house, the rush for the door when The National “Antrim” ( Titch Maher) was played at the end of the big picture…never knew why it was called “Head” Dolans…never even wondered, just accepted it..maybe Miss Dolan was dealin a bit of the auld ganja under the counter..we could have done with it back then…might have softened all the auld shite we had to sit thru below in St Conleths…The Mons Miller preaching with closed eyes or FR Gorman droning on half the morning sending us all into paroxysms of utter boredom..a few auld tabs of acid would have stirred the congregation….there would be some crackup in the organ loft..Paddy Cullen would have them bells a ringin, John Hartfleet would do a Paul Robeson and Sonny Ghent would give `Mario Lanza a run for his money…God rest them all
Hello Christy hope all is well! I seen your TG4 interview the last night I love that station it was great and also reminded me of what a huge amount of great music Ireland has stored up its unreal when think about it. Long live TG4!! I try to send 1 thing a year to you and this is a short piece I put together after watching a short film on the coffin ship Hannah its easy to forget that these people were just like ourselves and must have went through an awful kinda hell altogether. Anyway hope you like it and all the very best to you and everyone back home and happy christmas and all that too. ps bogs are great places I was born and reared in on myself!! might song..Wild
Our ship was heavy laden when we left your rotten shore,
I cursed the day we got there and then I cursed it more.
The filthy shower of murderers sent us on our way,
and the waves were high and plenty bound for Amerikay.
The ship was tossed and flung about, and we too weak to fall,
the filth and stench stung festered eyes, they wouldn’t hear our call.
The splash of all the over boards eased a little pain,
For death a welcomed sorrow on board the Cromwell name.
Die at home or die at sea, to live through death was worse,
but that we did while soaked in piss, and lice the Reapers purse.
I wish I was in England, I’d serve her without shame,
and all her deeds I would forgive, and gladly bear her name.
16 weeks of torture, like rats that crawled from sewers,
we creeped out of our coffins on other hostile shores.
God Almighty save us we haven’t got a prayer,
the flesh was falling from our bones, all we could do was stare.
Those that could went on to live, others died and glad,
others we will never know, the rest of them went mad.
Our only crime, Erin’s Isle, the land from where we came,
where hunger whips the bleeding lips on board the Cromwell name.
Wally Page, one of our finest…will be joining us on Sin é Radio Show this evening. 9pm on 103.2 fm. Dublin City fm..a bit of a session in store. Thanks. LF(44)

I bought Dad tickets to see you last night for Christmas. it was actually my first time seeing you but after years of listening to your music I think it could be safe to say that I have grown up hearing you.
I just wanted to say thank you for last night. It was unbelievable night with my dad, Jerry Fitzpatrick, who has been a huge fan of your for years. Your songs brought us both back to good times, bad times, late nights and Sunday afternoons… He told me stories, some I’d heard before and some I hadn’t. I heard about his first time seeing you in the Embankment near Naas around 1969, how he was told to shut up in Finbusry Park Tavern when he wanted to hear a specific song, and how you welcomed Paul Hill in the Dominion in Tottenham.
So thank you again and I couldn’t have been happier to hear you for the first time live with Dad at Christmas.
Róisín
Christy's reply
Many of us learned our early licks playing at The Embankment in Tallaght. It was a famous venue in its day. That legendary man of Kerry, the late Mick McCarthy, bought a small country pub and developed it into a world famous venue. He hosted a wide variety of gigs there, staged plays and dramas,booked a myriad of singers and musicians and had many TV shows there. I remember my first gig there in 1964. I was booked to play at Peggy Jordans Folk Club.I caught the bus at Astons Quay and off with me and my new guitar, on the road at last! Later, in the 60s and 70s, it became a regular part of the circuit……I recall the Finsbury Park Tavern too, that was a wild spot.I think I too was told to shut up the same night………… Welcoming Paul Hill to The Dominion remains a stand out moment…it must very special to go to a gig with your father. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Christy,
Gee you haven’t lost the voice, it was fantastic seeing you tonight, second time in 30 years….sorry. Last time was when you were with Planxty in Olympia Theatre (I was up in the cookoos nest at the top when I was a student). The lighting & the sounds produced tonight was fantastic. I only wished it was recorded to DVD it was that good, I was sitting beside the sounds / electric guys & got excellent view & sounds. I never heard Declan before, but by god he has a great voice, & plays those guitars so beautifully its captivating. I have to say a big thank you to you as I am off to see Declan on Jan 23rd next after you mentioned it.
Thank you Christy for all the music & history you have given me with a bit of craic along the way. You are my Number 1 & well as German friends of mine who love dearly as I do!
Cheers Chtisty. Patrick.
Christy's reply
Sound Patrick…Glad you had a good time. Declan, Jimmy and I had a grand few hours last night. Great audience and a good run of songs. Dont leave it another 30 years ! Thanks for your feedback.Our sound and lighting crew do a great job.
Hi Christy,greetings from Mallorca.I’ve taken a couple of months off from gigging and was on the sofa the other night and turned on TG4 and there was your good self.As always the songs were great but I loved the interview,your outlook,your way with words,inspiring as always.I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2014,and who knows,might see you in Dublin over the festive season,always listening…..Kevin.
Christy's reply
Morra Kevin…Hope your box is in tune, that you and your family have a happy and peaceful time…the home fire is burning
I was at the gig tonight in Vicar Street and enjoyed it so much.
It’s my first gig of yours to attend at 21, courtesy of my parents the family went. As someone who grew up listening to your songs and you singing those of many other wonderful songwriters, I don’t think I could have had a better night. I look forward to seeing you live again – Beeswing was a serious highlight.
Greetings from Prosperous, and here’s hoping you’ll pop in for some music that way again someday.
Also have to give Declan a shout for the great job he did, and I’m delighted his album is out.
Fair play!
Christy's reply
Greeting to you Orlam and to all songsters around the old crossroads of Prosperous. Thats where this leg my music journey began. Each Wednesday we made our way from Newbridge to be part of those legendary sessions in Pat Dowling’s pub. Donal Lunny was a budding young guitar player, Liam O’Flynn was at the heart of it all alongside Mickey Carroll, Joe Ward, Frank Burke, The Rynnes Davoc,Brigid and Andrew, Ned Farrell, Michael Crean, Nan McCormack,Gerry on Accordeon, Big Jim Casey used to sing “The Roadstone Cowboy”. Ciarán Burke often came “down from Dublin” as did Ted Fury, Barney McKenna, Mick McGuane and many many more. The Grehan Sisters sometimes came from Boyle and the memory of those nights still lingers. After closing time the music would continue well into the night…………..I will happily pass your greeting on to Declan Sinnott
Hi christy,
My aunt cathrine is going to be attending your gig tomorrow Monday 16th December 2013 Dublin Vicar St. As much as she loves your gigs, the one song she loves to hear you play is Little Musgrave so if you could play it for her it would make her night.
Cheers Christy.
Luke.
Christy's reply
Morra Luke…we shall try our utmost to render Little Musgrave for Catherine this evening. That very song almost appeared last night but got waylaid by the run of the gig. Its due an outing. Its a song that needs the air behind its back.
Agnes, it’s great to see your post. I’ve been thinking about you and Dado and wondering how he’s been getting on with the home help. I like your craic. That’s a weird prediction about Michael D …only time will tell.
Christy, I listened to you on Marian today. It was very good and I liked what you said on all topics and enjoyed your singing. I was glad that Bobby Sands’ song writing was discussed without the usual southern media hysteria when anything to do with northern republicanism is mentioned. Had it been Miriam with her faux accent, it would have been a different story.
I had you in the car with me a couple of weeks ago when I went on a trip to San Francisco. The new record (the three of them) took me half-way and then I just played the whole thing again. I laughed, cried, and sang along as I made my way south and was lol at your rendezvous with the Rose of Tralee as I was crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s great being on your own in a vehicle with music as you can listen in peace and sing (?) away and nobody can hear you.
I’m sad I can’t get home this Christmas and will be thinking of Vicar Street in the coming week. All the best and Happy Christmas to you, Declan, Agnes, Dado and everybody else.
Christy's reply
I love the image of you and The Rose crossing The Golden Gate Bridge. Last time I made that crossing was 25 years ago.On my way to Sausalito to play at Jasper Farrell’s before returning for a few nights at The Great American Music Hall.Thanks gor the feedback. Like you I love the reflections of Agnes, our youngest correspondant.
Hello from distant lands… I have an original recording of Smoke & Strong Whiskey bought in 1991 but unfortunately after several decades of well played use it has begun to skip, resurfacing in all. I have hunted high and low for a replacement but to no avail. Can anyone tell where I can purchase a CD?
Thanks, Julian.
Christy's reply
we have a few remaining here in the shop…let us know if you are still seeking that album and we can sort it out..the shop is closed ’til wednesday…
Hi Christy,
I have a photo of a play in Navan years ago and, according to legend, your Mam is in it. Have you an email address I could send it to and I’ll ping it over.
Cheers,

thats our Nancy alright..I’ll give you a shout
woohoo, just booked tickets for the Festival Hall on 18th April… not many tickets left.. it looks like another sell-out Christy – love it
fair play to you..last time I was at Arsenal was the night of the Viera/Keane spat in the tunnel
Still love you Christy, what a set list that was on your latest chat post.. It has been too long since I came to one of your amazing gigs… So, my New Year resolution – get back to Ireland and get blown away again…
