Hi there Christy.
Off to see you tomorrow in Edinburgh. Its also my wifes (Eibhlin & originally from Dunfanaghy, Co. Donegal) birthday. It would be a wonderful present if you were able to dedicate a song to her during your set.
Looking forward to the gig and thanks

Christy's reply

Hi christy,just thought I’d drop you a few lines to wish you well for your upcoming scottish gigs. It’s my husbands birthday and he’s travelling over to the barrowlands gig on Friday with 7 friends, all from lurgan. Any excuse lol. I’d appreciate it if you could give him a mention. His names conor scullion and beeswing would be his favourite song. No harm done Christy if it’s not possible. Hope you and declan enjoy the gig. I know the boy’s from co.Armagh will lol. Keep er lit !
Christy's reply
so many seeking special mentions that those not mentioned would feel special….The Lurgan Seven will probably be feeling special on Fri night by showtime….dont worry jacqui, we will do our utmost to make your Conor feel special..we’ll try and send him home to you with a big smile on his face
Dear Christy,
Just want to wish you well for your tour across the water, hope you’ll have a happy and successful time!
I’d also like to thank the 4711ers friends for reviving the memories of Lisdoon gathering here. It’s four years ago today when we left home at 6 a.m. to sit in the Royal Spa 12 hours later in pleasant company waiting for your appearance … and that was pure magic, followed by a glorious weekend, we’ll never forget. I’m grateful that we could take part in this very special event.
Safe travelling to all and enjoy the gigs! All the best, Traudel
Christy's reply
4 years gone by in a flash….it was indeed a special time
Looking forward to gig on Friday in Glasgow….concert hall gig a bit too refined pour moi 🙂 though plenty other Bankies attending that one!! If you get a chance Christy could you give a shout to the Labour for Independence public meeting in Clydebank Town Hall at 7.00 on Thursday 17th April …we’ve been pounding the streets delivering leaflets to get the message across but a shout from yerself at your Glasgow gigs would be worth a thousand leaflets to be honest. Cheers Christy and all the best for the gigs and the future…next time you play Glasgow you might not be in the UK!!!! Here’s hoping 😉 Cheers Stevie

I have a feeling that the audience in Barrowland will have a good idea of how they are going to vote…..
Hi Christy, Hope all is well with you. Best wishes to you, Declan and all the crew for the UK Tour and hope all goes to plan. I’m really sorry wont make it this year but hope to catch up in Letterkenny mid June. Will miss that hot ‘n sticky front row at Barrowland….LOL !..maybe next time…Hope all the faithful who have travelled from far and wide have a great time ! I’m sure you will be keeping an eye or two on the football while your over there…big game at Anfield on Sunday ….A win for the reds and we might just dare to dream …Love & Respect Martin Mac
Christy's reply
Letterkenny tis then …wont have time for foreign games while on the road..its first things first… I’m in serious training for a golden oldies game in my home town in June..I’m expecting to get the call as I scored a great goal for the Junior Bees in the C’Ship of 1964..they may have forgotten but tis clearly etched in my recall
Hi Christy, hope you’ll have a safe crossing, I’m ready for the gig here in Edinburgh. The Honda 50 is overheating from driving up and down the Royal Mile.
Safe travels to you, the crew and the 4711ers on tour. Thought that Lizzie might have given you an oul gig with Michael D, but maybe she’s more of a Stiff Little Fingers fan. Had the great pleasure of hearing Dec and Vickie on Friday night – he can sure make those guitars sing. Have a great tour and see you in May.
Hey Christy!
Coming to see you next Friday in London!!
Been waiting over a year for this Gig 🙂 never had the opportunity to see you live before…counting down the days x see you next week 🙂
I’m not really on Ilkley Moor without a hat. Just heard your dulcet tones M’Lud on Radio 4 (thanks for the tip me LiverpoolKen ). It heralds your arrival onto the sod together with Queenie, Martin and Michael D. I hope the water is calm and the tea is strong. I’m looking for the full crusty Barrowland experience so that the big daughter may be blooded. We can smell the fox. Xx
Christy's reply
leave it with us, we’ll seek to have the baptismal waters flowing freely
Hi Christy
We’ll be at the Edinburgh show on Thursday – can’t wait! Could you mention Nancy McIvor, who’ll be with us in the 2nd row? Its her birthday on Sunday and she’d be really amazed that you knew that! haha – anyway, keep smiling! and Ta for the music!
Christy's reply
lets see how it all pans out…so far there are 23 requests for call outs before we get to the venue…shine on you crazy diamonds
We’ll be seeing you on Sunday night then! Hope that bucket isn’t too big. Expect you in fine voice as usual. No pressure!
Scottish Mari and German Jörg

the Nightingale sings her best, we drink a pint in Hamilton’s Rest, the girl I love wore a muslin dress, the fishermen dream of the sun in the west….So Do I
Well Christy, just heard a pretty cool story on Ian dempsey breakfast show on the way into work . A 7 yr old boy Liam McCormack was born deaf and two years ago he got a cochlear implant in Beaumont to Give him the ability to hear. Anyway apparently the hardest two things for someone learning to hear is talking on the phone and listening to the radio. The boys father was blown away when he was driving him to school and Liam started singing a song he heard on the radio. He got the Liam to call in himself and request that song, Don’t forget your shovel.
Hi Christy!
My husband Jörg and I are so looking forward to seeing you on Saturday in Glasgow. It’ll be a first for us in Scotland. We’ve seen you many times in Germany, where we lived for 40 years together and now we’ve retired here. Go on Christy, sing Black is the Colour for us! We all love you!
Christy's reply
Fri or Sun is good for me Marion but Saturday night is bucket of drink night so I’ll be locked in the clodgie
So looking forward to Friday night. Sinead coming over from Derry to see you. She’s never been to see you let alone the barrowlands. Luckiest man on the world. She has the most beautiful eyes and well your voice … Wee shout out would go a million miles x
Christy's reply
shout-outs can work the wrong way Starry….best you state your case, third parties are not always the best way to deliver important messages…just packin the bag here now..have the Holy Water from Knock and the Black Puddin from Clonakilty…just about ready to set sail for Scotia
Hi Christy and Declan, wishing you all safe journeying across the water. Sadly will only be able to make the Concert Hall due to hospital visits, but that means I’m looking forward to it three times as much! Looking forward to a bit of an international gathering too, open house at mine on Saturday for a wee sitting room session and a song or two if the folks fancy …That music sure keeps the spirits high, hope you have a great trip 🙂 Jan x
Christy's reply
hope all goes well Jan..that you have a grand wee gaggle, that they dont eat you out of house and home
Linked to my request below – I perhabs should have mentioned that my wifes full name is Eibhlin McHugh
we’ll pluck wild mountain thyme
Hello Christy,
I am really looking forward to your concert on Good Friday. Please could you include the Raggle Taggle Gypsy.
You sang it last year at the gig in Tullamore.
Good luck with the tour.
Paula
I’d rather have a kiss of the yellow gypsy’s lips

in fairness, the invite came but we had previous commitments to our Scottish listeners…Michael D is playing a stormer south of The Border despite rumours of Graffiti in Windsor Castle
