Christy Moore - Lockdown Sessions (Episode 8)

[@monkeyface6139]

I'm glad he's not 'mainstream'...that makes him more special for those of us who 'know'. The masterful, seemingly effortless ease of his performance is magical everytime for me, although there's some songs I find it had to get through without a throat lump. Ah geez...hahaha. In my opinion...he's unique, with a charm and honesty that sees him loved by millions. A real living legend.

[@RigTheJig]

I just found this tonight, it’s absolutely wonderful, this is what I love about Christy, he gives so much of himself to the songs, be it in the biggest venues on the planet or at home with his son, it’s the mark of the man. ❤️

[@truthteller3024]

To be real, really he is a real legend!

[@kevinmahoney2231]

Christy speaks of MacGowan as a poet but he is a true poet in his own sense. All songs he sings are brought to life with unsung emotions and feeling which are not just heard but felt in a way which is unimagined.

[@finneire2081]

Still the master strummer the timing dynamics and deliverance unequaled to this day . Thundering yet sweet voice of the warrior Bard . Giving us all the strength and hope Fair play our living legend Christy Moore up ya boy ya !!! Greetings from Clondalkin

Charles Doherty ‘‘tis indeed not my type of music but has it all the same Shame more pubs around aren’t the same . For I’m not sure what’s worse a pub with no music or a pub with no beer 😂😂

Finn Eire what’s the bar across the road from it , Quinlans , they did music too , great big bar

@@finneire2081 The Music brings you in and Beer makes you stay a bit longer ? (Try again !) The Beer's great, then the music begins and you know for the next few hours happiness will reach every pore. ( I choose this )

[@pogues1]

Christy, loved your songs so long now, as an English bloke met a girl from Twinbrook, now my wife with kids,living in Belfast. Saw you 10 years ago in La Salle , when you sang Voyage you did it again, put something in my eye. Not a hero , a musical friend.

[@DG-hd5oi]

Fabulous, you have a voice that could charm the birds from the trees, such poignant words and truly amazing voice. Thank you so much for the joy and happiness you have given to everyone. I'm sitting here moved to tears of happiness and emotion that you have brought to us all by these videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Xx

[@garyobrien3740]

Thanks so much, and that Joxer song, always brings tears, specially these days with the passing of the great Jack Charlton. Merci beaucoup Monsieur!

[@Kalousisardinha]

I am a big fan of yours Hugs from Brazil!!

[@laurencewhitehead5980]

Bright Blue Rose, I Pity the Poor Immigrant. Two of my favourite songs Christy has sang. Beautiful. But I just don't know what they are on about. Maybe best not to know. Wonderful

[@catherineturner3732]

So good to see and hear you - ever since I followed you around London Pubs in the 80s. A smile for Joxter, a tear for Bright Blue Rose. Many thanks dear Christy.

[@reginareinart]

So good to listen to these eight sessions..... Brilliant, so gentle, so deep... Thanks a million Christy and Andy

Excellent! can you play Victor Jara please? Hard to get a version to see the chords and this setting is ideal. Thanks.

[@shortallliam3142]

[@diarmuidogrady3842]

This day 2 years ago I saw Christy preform in leisure land in Galway it was unbelievable . I had planned on seeing him this year again but sadly the virus didn’t accommodate hoping to get out to see another concert again always amazing and breathtaking my favourite songs are Finnegan’s wake and the ballad of ruby Walsh (with the Galway races just over) I would love to hear either of these again if possible Thanks Andy and Christy these videos are amazing and great to hear

[@justinbates1700]

Just stumbled across these lockdown sessions and can't stop catching up at silly o'clock in the morning. Love to hear "old man song" from the box set (Green?). Used to sing it to my daughter when she was wee. She called it the turnip song..... At the turning of the century. 😂

[@leecoulbeck]

Thanks Christy for all your amazing stories, songs, words and music. You bloody genius.

[@noeleenobyrne6272]

Well done christy,love this sessions

[@bizwebb5991]

I look forward to each episode. I’ve been unable to see my folks due to the pandemic, so it warms my heart to see and hear Christy and Andy shoot the breeze and sing together. Thanks for sharing with us, both of you. Much love.

[@TryDrinkingWater]

Lovely picture of your parents in the background. I remember your Mam well from College Park back in the day.

[@nxmahon]

Hi Christy, do you think you could give the lockdown sessions a bash again as we are padding the conoe down the same river again. Hope all is well with everyone 👍

[@DWerk]

Hello Christy, I like your casual style, offering musical delight with deep thought. Keep up the good work. Erin go Bragh! Detlev; Los Angeles

Always a pleasure Christy.

Hi Christy play one for my mammy from kicoole an aunt Josephine

[@McFraneth]

Christy, you punch me in the heart every bloody time!!! The tears burst out. You are the Sorolla of song. The neofascist Vox is in charge of education in Murcia now. No pasaran in Madrid though. Our Pablo is rolling his sleeves up and facing Ayuso. Cross your fingers for Spain please Christy.

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Just discovered this video while looking fir the proper way to play Black is the color. Thanks for that n this ! My day has been made . Long live C M !

[@rwdkai]

Mighty, thank you.

[@thecannon8710]

Hello Christy Moore my name is Brandon cannon. Born in Canada but Irish ancestry. I love my Irish heritage and I wish to one day visit! I'm glad to see you are still at it! I've just started learning the banjo and after I master that I'm gonna master the tin whistle. My dream is that me and my friends make an Irish folk band. And we become great like you and Shane and the Clancy brothers. I listen to your music and all the other great Irish legends almost every day. I hope to one day meet you. But anyways I just wanted you to know you've been a huge inspiration to me. And here's my song request. 90 miles from Dublin. Or, gypsy rover, or don't forget your shovel, either one of those would do! Thanks!

[@pacificbloodstock]

Another stellar performance Christy & Andy. Your talent is understated, but your generosity in these sessions give us all so much joy, Thank you

[@mikeheap7978]

Christy listening from Manila brother, Hope your feeling well. Love your great spirit and true beliefs that you never ever diluted or sacrificed. The brothers of history look down on you with pride, you never let any of your brothers down, God bless you Christy.

[@JenniBessesen]

I saw you perform this in Sligo in 2009. What special memories. Much love. Jenni from Cape Town

[@AlexMakhno]

Christyyy!! We miss you. Upload videos again!

[@eamcostyle2641]

Oh Christy! It's fantastic you're here! I blame my bodhran habit and my anti-fascism on you! Love you Christy...from faraway forever.

[@eamcostyle2641]

I ended up running away to New York to find more sessiuns mid tech career. No regrets! Still don't know which way is up really but, it's much better than acting like I do know!

[@eamcostyle2641]

Sorry my story telling lacks continuity. I started playing bodhran about 40 years ago after seeing you in Berkeley.... and things unwound from there...in a lovely way. I think I was always antifa.

[@NICHOLASBYRNE3931]

Christy, Andy, Great Stuff, many thanks.

[@gavinfriel]

Thanks Christy. You kept the spirits up in 2020. The lads had just been to seen you at Vicar St in Dublin in January, it felt a world away when you posted this video. Here’s to a brighter future. Keep ‘er lit ♥️☘️🇮🇪

[@smlorrin]

So wonderful! Thank you!

[@ignacio9590]

Yupowadat christy you ould legend ya...

[@thebitcoinbusker5455]

It's an interesting point you raise with the melody of I pity the Poor immigrant. I remember when i was younger and realising just how many folk songs were played in the same melody as each other and it was actually this very melody that brought it to my realisation. Namely Tramps and Hawkers and Shanes Song with no name. But then i realised it was the same song i'd heard for years locally as the Celtic fans chant one version whilst the Billy boys chant another in the same vesrion. haha.. In fact, the very man i grew up listening to as a young child was an amazing ability to do this. that was Matt McGinn who also had the knack of making an Important poluitical point yet at the same time could turn it into a childrens nursery rhyme that anyone can grrow up listening to and the point grows on them as they grow and mature. Yep. Folk musics brilliant. Our Folk Music. the Real Folk Music eh Music of the folk! look forward to hearing some more in the next sessions or better still, Live. Cheers Kev

[@AlexMakhno]

Yuhuuuu!! Qué alegría me da cuando subes tus vídeos, amigo. Que estés bien, compañero!!

[@alrightgobshite123]

Love it Christy, good on ya

great stuff ! thank you Christy and Andy for keeping this going been listening to Christy for many many years now never heard him sing a Van Morrison song i wonder if you ever have?

[@benchantry2092]

Fantastic stuff. Look forward to hearing Christy in person

[@majellapeelo1533]

What a fabulous artist,

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Christy is a champion, a genuine voice amidst all the blarney and glitz of superficial manufactured music, his brother is a decent songwriter also (Luka Bloom) this music soaks through to my bones. I welcome being influenced by men such as Christy.

[@madpadi]

Thanx Christy and Andy Long may this continue Best thing bout Covid Any chance of Lisdoonvarna ?

[@michaelmcnaughton1696]

Thank you Christy for playing for us during this tough time.

[@ladylaois8184]

How did I miss this ?

[@liamh5127]

Joxer. That was emotional

[@royly368]

I just love you Christy and a lovely tribute to Big Jack xx

[@EncounterswithStrangeness]

Thank you Christy and Andy for another great show. I have a request, I wonder if you might sing 'The Man is Alive' by that fella Luka Bloom? Cheers, Kitty from Tasmania.

[@kevskoot]

Luka is Christy's brother 😁
