Part of his great intro to “If It Be Your Will”. I am certain you would do a glorious version of this wonderful prayer. I hope you will listen. xo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHAHt2Hv_DI

Christy's reply
sounds good Eugenious,there are many days to embrace and enjoy twixt now and Barrowland…see you there, if all goes well, and we’ll dance around the Church of ceili and waltz beneath the carousel of healing
Christy a chara,
Great news on the auld Dunlewey gig in June. You can be sure you will go down a treat as always. Donegal will never let you down!
I would like to ask a wee favour if I may. Unfortunately I will be in Canada when you play here in June for reasons beyond my control but my girlfriend Lisa will be at the gig and I would be a very happy lad if you could please sing ‘Beeswings’ for her. It happens to be song I ‘wooed’ her with at the Fleadh Cheoil in Cavan last year. It would mean a lot of you could.
Go raibh maith agat. Is tu mo loach!

Christy's reply
enjoy your time in that great country…we will try and keep the home fire burning
Sad to learn of the death of the legendary Levon Helm this afternoon. He fought with courage and kept the music going. May he rest in peace. His performance here is a tribute to his courage and heart:
Hi Christy hope you are keeping well,Going to see munster and the scarlets on Saturday,Taking the eldest on a rugby tour to south wales,Hoping to get to see a gig soon,Shine on Christy and see you along the way, From the foothills of snowdonia cheerio for now.
i heard a song on one night with christy on rte a while ago i was just wondering where i could get it. the song is lord baker.
christy moore is a musical legend
Christy's reply
the first version I did of Lord Baker was with Planxty on the album “Words and Music” in 1981…there is a second version when I duetted with Sinead O’Connor on her “Sean Nós” album about 10 years ago…I may very well return to this wonderful ancient song as I hear a different version emerging these days
Dear Christy aged 66. Magpies were taking over the tree.Dad got Brendan and a chainsaw.Bye Bye tree .Bye Bye Magpies we have LOADS of fire wood and the spideog and pigeons are happy.
Did you ever see torquoise sheep?
Christy's reply
Magpies and Scall Crows….the Sean Fitzpatricks and Michael Fingletons of the Irish Feathered Community….fair play to your Dad for simultaneously getting rid of them there varmints and providing fuel for next winter at the same time…your kettle will never be off the boil….mind you there are a host of magpies just after landing in our back garden and the feckers all have mad Galway accents….I saw turquoise sheep on The Curragh the year that Johnny Naughton got a bit over enthusiastic at the branding (1958)….did not effect the flavour of the chops at all
been looking for over 20 years for a song i heard u sing , i was 17 at the time and this song has stayed with me all these years, asked so many ppl and sung the lyrics to them, they all shook their heads…. at last i have found you and your song along with many many more that kept me from going insaine over the years , lol
The Deportees Club
Fantastic music, voice and musician

Christy's reply
Elvis Costello sang that song to us here after the dinner one night about 20 years ago…I recorded it on an album called Voyage circa 1990…added a few extra drinks to the chorus…”Schnappes, Chianti, Porter, Ouza, Pernod, Vodka, Sambucco, I love you so”…dont think he noticed, but he dont miss too much our Elvis
FYI: I’m the guy who bought the EGB808TE which you apparently traded for a Dreadnought. Anyway, I’m more than happy to play it and the history makes it even more fun, though I’m a Fingerstyle player, hence, never sing 🙂
Unfortunately I had to leave Ireland and therefore never had the opportunity to attend one
of your concerts. But a huge part of my heart will always remain on this wonderful Island – and leaving doesn’t mean I can’t come back 🙂

Christy's reply
I can never remember number plates, tell me more about the guitar
Jeez i am so excited fair bursting, just got the tickets for the Barras gig in Nov, me the Mrs and the boy (well he got the tickets, thanks son!) now need to see about book flights to Scoatia and with a wee bit of luck pick up a game at Parkhead!
Lucky enough to have seen the man at Ballisodare in 78 (or was it 79?) few times in Glasgow in the Far East (Edinburgh), Southport! and Liverpool , last time at Christy gig was early 90’s…..all before make the move here to the States Cannot even play the barras DVD over here!
Thanks Christy for all your music plus making my Mam and Dad (RIP them both) home of Gortahork famous in song. cannot wait….206 days and counting
Christy's reply
dont forget your shin pads and helmet….be prepared to sing long and hard…Barrowland Choirs exert extreme gusto
Thanks for the reply Christy I am planning well ahead for the group that I am fundraising for and would be interested in any availability up to about 18 mths to 2 yrs even
In the current climate it pays I think to plan ahead especially with certain options which you know you can sell out
Christy, please please PLEASE will you find time from ur busy schedule or even consider putting pen to paper and writing a follow up to Joxer for all us patriotic fans that will be following the boys in green to Poland this summer….:-)
Im sure it would be an instant hit and would be great craic…:-)))
Christy's reply
my pen is worn out, my hand is numb, Joxer refuses to be followed…..I have tried everything, rosaries, novenas, press-ups, reiki, psillocybin, Lough Derg, skunk, poitín, silence, 2 weeks in an enclosed convent ( fasting),an over-night with the Screamers in Burtonport was the closest I came to finding a sequel but when I came down the verses were unrepeatable…I’m handing the job over to The Rubber Bandits
Thanks Christy happy listening, singing & playing to you too. : ) Here is a link to the recording I was asking about on 4711ers http://4711ers.org/viewtopic.php?p=12622#12622. : D XOX P.S A new live solo album or Barrowlands would be great! XOX
Reading One Voice and thoroughly enjoying it. (Loving the photos. too. Your wife holding baby up to the sky – gorgeous.) Just read the Bright Blue Rose story. What a sublime and profound gift to be touched in that way, or to be open to it. Your words on it were perfect; brief and mysterious. The force is with you, sir.

Do you do one-off gigs for stuff like charity fundraisers
If you do, who do I contact to discuss stuff like availability and fee ?
Thanks

Ah the power & magic of the Bright Blue Rose ….. and the Alchemist…… H
