Hey Christy. My self and the missus came to see you last night at the Brighton Dome. Top form as usual. The shout out to the young girl that has been coming too see you since the age of 4 months brought tears to my eyes. Cant wait too hear your story tellings again.
Many thanks for being a true fella.
Sean
Christy's reply
From Donny to The Dome…Thanks Sean and Missus…it was a good night
Hey Christy, Cheers for that last night you were in fine form!! had a brilliant night!! and the spin of nancy was great!!
Hope not too long until get to see you again, maybe in the west of clare!
Good man!!
hi Christy, what a good feeling today as i celebrate my 65th birthday, 22 years sober and going to your concert with my wife Pat, and my first visit to the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. since i left Scotland 14 years ago. ive never seen you in concert sober, but somewhere in the back of my mind i saw you in the 80s with Moving Hearts in Irvine Ayrshire, but i am not sure about that. could you tell me if you did. it would put my mind at rest LOL. look forward to hearing you tonight, and im sure it will be brilliant. best wishes for the show and hope to meet you. Ray
Christy's reply
22 years Ray…what a great achievement..well done ..long may you and Pat be happy and healthy…did not play Irvine with Moving Hearts..both Declan and I had left by then ..we’ll drop in a few MH songs tonight…..Happy 65th Birthday
Dear Christy, what a wonderful night. We laughed, we cried, we sang, we cheered. Noah’s first Christy concert and Tallulah’s second. Memories to cherish. Round we go … Enjoy the rest of your tour. Love and thanks from us all.
Christy's reply
thank you for continuing to listen and support…love to Tallulah,Noah and mentors x
That’s a powerful link to Francis Ledwidge,Christy…RIP to the fallen in WW1 slaughter.I have my Grandfather’s sketches ,made behind the lines in France,1916.He survived but lost his son in Normandy,1944.So much for the ‘war to end wars’…
‘Cotton Mills’…near the bridge over The Boyne on the Slane/Dublin Rd? I assume there would have been workers’ houses on that site back in the day.
I think I had a pint or two in The Pack Horse! No wonder you feel such a connection with Northern England.Great to know.
Hi Christy
Enjoy today in Canterbury.I’m sure there are many tales to tell at the gig…
Talk of gardening families and estates in Co Meath made me think of Francis Ledwidge.I’ve just looked at the website dedicated to his work.,now many years after. I visited the museum at his old family home outside Slane.
For anyone interested in Anglo/Irish history ,Ledwidge is a fascinating subject.From tough,early years in Meath to his tragic,early death at Ypres in 1917.Punctuated by his evocative poetry.
There’s a very active society linked to publicising Ledwidge’s work .His story is a microcosm of many significant ,turbulent times in the last 100 years or so.
Enjoy the day,
Dave
Christy's reply
My Grand-mother Ellie Power (nee Sheeran) hailed from the Cotton-Mills on the banks of the River Boyne.Her brother, Joe Sheeran, joined up with Francis Ledwidge and they both fell at Ypres. Joe’s only daughter, Kathleen Sheeran, was subsequently reared by an aunt in Arbroath,Scotland. She finally settled in Bury, Lancs where she became Landlady at the Pack Horse Inn, Birtle.
Kathleen was a very unique woman. I spent a lot of time at this old pub…it became my home for a while in 1967 as I sought to make my way. I am still in contact with my cousins around Bury….Grandchildren of Joe Sheeran,comrade of Francis Ledwidge.
Hello Christy,
Hope you are much better now! Glad to read your UK tour is going so well and the new album will be released soon. Some great posts here today … lovely reception of “The Gardener” from a gardener’s son. Seems Paul Doran’s beautiful song has now settled down to your set. I too can recall that concert of MOT festival in Bantry House 2007 … Kitty Hayes was very impressive!
(to Liam: Later that night Christy sang “Nancy Spain” for your grandmother, I think.)
Best wishes, Traudel

Hello! My girlfriend’s sister Emma and her husband Andrew have come all the way from Zurich to see you tonight! So you’ll have a lovely Irish contingent of them and me and my girlfriend Aoife. They’re also seeing you in Dublin in April! Can’t get enough. Obviously you’ll have to go to Switzerland sometime. They are hoping you’ll play Bee’s Wing tonight because it would be beautiful to hear live (and will create a great buzz ?). See you later!

Great to start with How Long and then leave us with Beeswing on Thursday, Christy, and a lovely set between those two songs – I’m adding my thanks to those who’ve already said they loved the gig!
But if you’ve been sneezin’ and atishoo’ing at one end, and are now in the realm of the green apple quicksteps, take care or you’ll become recyclable as a garden feature ;~)
Hope you’re in great shape for Brighton tonight and even better for Canterbury tomorrow xx

PS to Sue and gang: thank you so much, and I hope ailing parents are feeling better and don’t realise what a fab gig they missed xx
Christy's reply
Thank you for the Book of Songs which I will peruse when I return to base camp…a much appreciated gift
Hi Christy,
It’s a misty Saturday morning here, the Dublin Mountains & the Pigeon Towers have all but disappeared from view. The cursor key is flashin’ & I’m sitting here with a packet of jammy dodgers & a cup of builders tea preparing for a presentation to other students & Profs, next Friday based on my research findings. Any tips for stage fright & nerves? At the moment my cunning plan is stage left…out passed the exit doors & just keep runnin’ like Forrest Gump!!
Hope the gigs are going well & you managed to grab a corned beef sambo.
Christy's reply
I still find it nerve wrecking when called upon to speak…what helps me is to find a quiet place before hand…there I seek the guiding light… when I stand before the room I always share the fact if I am frightened or nervous..much better then pretending that I’m not..thats what I do..
The Sun is shining in Brighton… 5 hours to showtime,my routine must now commence …..will be back beneath the Dublin Mountains in a week…your presentation will be fine…Go For It…
Hi Christy,, sounds like first 2 gigs were v good,, here in sunny Eastbourne, looking forward, was thinking its a while since the last gig then i though well Gorey wasn’t that long ago 🙂 been lis back to the Burning times album again. it really is a great cd, this is prop my fav. well have a great day.. Adam
Christy's reply
Welcome to the sunny South-West Adam…. we are happy to be back in Brighton..its been a few years since we circled The Dome…
nice to hear that Burning Times is getting a spin among ~The Wicklow Hills
The new album is almost finished..Declan is finalising the mixes and I have a little more work to do on one track….it has been a long gestation as we got it together in Lisdoonvarna, Dun Laoire, Drogheda and Ballymountain….the sleeve is just about ready, the sleeve notes checked, the Title in aspic….hope fully we can announce a release date very soon…
Hi Christy. Thank you very very much for Thursday in Guildford.. as always you were fantastic.. Natasha and Nicola (and me) were so chuffed that you sung Black is the Colour.. Natasha’s father in law had a great night and wants to thank you.. this was the first time he had really listened to your music and he’s now converted.. so much so that he is organising his next business trip to Ireland to coincide with your gig’s 🙂 much love as always.. I hope you are feeling better.. Mrs McGuire (AKA Fiona) xxx
Christy's reply
twas grand to hear that Motherwell “squeal” once more..sorry we did not meet..we legged it straight after the gig….love to Wilma,Vhari,Mairead,Jim, Yourself and all The Clan….every time I sing his song I feel Hamish close by….he taught me so much when I was setting out..( not all of it good for me !!!)..I will never forget those happy times with your family at 152
Wonderful night at G Live. Best bit was Oblivious and Spancil Hill. Worst bit was being worried that you were not well. But you’re a trooper. I’d have thrown a sickie and said feck it. I’m looking forward to Brighton and seeing my son from Wicklow. Don’t eat the cockles you’ll get a dose of the tummy jip. Xx

Howya Christy, hope all well. Just heading to Brighton for the gig tonight and really looking forward to it. A birthday present from the wife and the kids (Caoimhe 13, Dylan 11 and Padraic 8) are all coming along. Because I have not relinquished control of the CD in the car (!) they are well in tune with you so they are looking forward to it – the continental cheili at 7.30 am on the way to school sets them up for the day! Anyway off to get a train and maybe will make it to the football in Brighton before the gig , if we can get tickets!
Best wishes

Christy, thanks so much for the welcome from New York and singing City of Chicago. It was very good of you to mention me. Also Thursday happened to be my Dads birthday, he passed last November. From a small hardworking farm he managed to educate himself in agriculture and horticulture and finished his training in the Botanical Gardens in Dublin in 1953 so hearing The Gardner for the first time was very moving. As an appreciative listener I wish you the best health and strength as you journey on with your work.
Brian.
Christy's reply
Brian….Thanks for sharing about your late Dad, where did he farm?….I’ve had that feeling about “The Gardener”. That it may connect with people for reasons similar to those you mention. Both my Maternal Grandparents,Jack and Ellie Power,were from “Gardener” families. Both their Fathers were Gardeners for wealthy (English) Estate owners in the “royal” County Meath. I feel connected to them when I sing this beautiful (Paul Doran) song. Hope you have a safe trip back to New York.That your Garden may be Rosy.
Hi Christie, really looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday in Canterbury, very excited as finally managed to get front row tickets☺ But l’m after a favour, cheeky I know!…please, please, please would you bless us with the ‘Voyage’ as a dedication for my husband Mark as it was our wedding song some 8 years ago? and as an even bigger favour would you, after the show, please sign our wedding invitation as a fabulous momento? My husband introduced this English lass to your music some 17 years ago now and I’ve been hooked ever since!! Thanks again Vicky xx
Christy's reply
Hey Vickie, I have already recieved a trough of requests for call-outs and dedications at Canterbury….I must consider the entire audience for whom I seek to play…most nights I call out but one or two…any more can be disruptive to the flow of the gig and cause a (possible) feeling of exclusion in the vast majority who come only to hear the songs, to experience the occasion ( a bit like myself,Declan and Jimmy ! )….I will happily sign your invite…if you can get it to me ….
Hello Christy, how are ya?, hope your feeling better now and the voice is in full swing for tomorrow night!…I’m heading down to Brighton tomorrow night to see ya with my dad Chris, he once played in a band called ‘Crusheen’ many years ago around London and once supported you at the Roundhouse Tavern in Camden in the early 80’s, said was one of most nervous nights of there lives!! Haha, he’s been a big admirer of your music for many many years and I’ve loved growing up listening to you too!!
As being bought up from a family with a lot of musical background from Co.Clare Miltown Malbay, your music always had a place within our family home, my grandmother Kitty Hayes was a special concertina player from around there who unfortunately passed away a few years back, not sure if you remember but use two came across each other at a music event in Bantry House Co Cork, I think it was 2007 and spoke together for a while, I remember her telling me how much of a pleasure it was to speak with you and a top man that you were!
I know you have loads of requests for tomorrow and only can pick out a few but Nancy Spain would be great if you get a chance!!
Sorry about the essay but thought I’d share that with you.
Good man Christy!!
Liam
Christy's reply
Hey Liam, what a great post…full of good stuff…stirring many welcome memories…I remember Crusheen and their music…they were a good Band…I think the Venue may have been The Roundhouse (without the Tavern) in Chalk Farm Road…I was gigging with Donal Lunny circa 1983….
I clearly recall the beautiful concert with Kitty Hayes in Bantry in 2007….my wife and I were enthralled by her music and the story of her life….
I have long since had the connection with Miltown-Malbay. I first arrived there as a junior Bank Clerk over 50 years ago. I lodged with Mrs Downes on The Square. On my first night I ended up in Tom & Maisie Friel’s where I met Willie Clancy and Joe Ward….My sister and her Husband Anne & Davoc Rynne moved to Spainish Point 40 years ago. I’ve had constant contact with West Clare ever since…
Hopefully we will give Nancy Spain a spin later today in The Dome,Brighton…
