Christy Moore sings My Little Honda 50 on The Late Late Show

Christy Moore sings My Little Honda 50 on The Late Late Show in December 2009. The original singer of the song is Mr Tom Tuohy, and he is in the audience with Bob Sullivan and Brian Hennessy. Video is not of great quality but Christy plays the song really well. He stops the crowd for clapping too early.

Well done to Tom Tuohy! Beautiful, memorable tune, playful lyrics. All the best to you in 2021 and beyond!

[@MrEgalvn]

"STALL THE DIGGER" ha ha good man christy,, LEGEND!!

[@anthonystovel5903]

Tom Tuohy -- one of Irelands greatest songwriters, and more evidence that Ireland neglects the wealth of talent they have ready

[@nalyd321]

stall the digger there hahahaha

[@Burncourtable]

The bar close when he starts playing and i'm okay with that. i only ever saw him once in Randalls island a the Irish feile in NYC. One of the best shows i have ever seen. i doubt he will ever come to America again

[@liospoil2010]

Good man Christy , he sang this last in the INEC in Killarney , great concert and a great crowd.

[@Dishsoapdirt1976]

Brilliant.... and as a musican I can;t stand it when the croud claps usually out of time with the music. Good on Christie for shutting that down :-)

[@Oooo-bi7bi]

Spot on. That’s how to deal with it.

[@ManUtdChants]

I love this tune on the album ... going to see him in April - cannot wait.

[@MegaScumbucket]

I love all the professional music singer/songwriters commenting here!!

[@PRODRIFTER46]

[@Karl_with_a_K]

The art of the songsmith is alive and well. John, Paul, George and Ringo would be proud.

[@Dingalingring]

I love how he sings, "And be God, she feckin' flew." :-D Christy's a legend. A FECKIN' legend. :-D

[@kevinmcinally7865]

[@jenx0x123]

Serious tune. Sang it last night in the Forum in Waterford :) Hilarious man

[@sparx550]

He is Liverpool in april, can't wait, irishman in a Irish town.

[@DeirdreCatherineDoyle]

HERE'S FOR MY DAD. HE NEVER TALKED UNLESS HE HAD SOMETHING TO SAY. HENCE 'SILENT O MILES' MY NICKNAME FOR HIM. HE WAS A MARINER AND KNEW HIS SEAS. MY NAN AND MY MUM COULD TALK THE HINDLEGS OFF A DONKEY LIMERICK SIDE.

[@tomhamilton1562]

I don’t care if people clap that’s them enjoying themselves and I’m a musician

[@PRODRIFTER46]

ya ur dead right! and i have to say i like christy's version alot more! but thats becuase the way he plays his chords etc and the way he words the song! is legendary

[@mumairsharif]

awesome!

[@MrTomtom210]

Well Done Tom.!

[@fineggb1]

Christy doesn't have a problem remembering words or anything, he's just fed up off playing and people not listening, you can hear it in some off his old live performances and people just shout and scream at him, no body wants that.

[@Gamersnewscom]

I still fondly remember my Honda 50

[@mothoin]

First time I saw Christy was in 1978 in Cork. His support act was a girl playing the spoons.

[@TheHanabi99]

iám not irish,,her him 4 some years ...... ,love him xd

[@shayclarke]

great man singing about a even better bike!!!

[@Woodbrook2]

[@101bugg101]

SOME SONG

[@LouieLouieCha]

I got leathered at the last three Christy gigs I went to. Hope this helps.
But all the songs he sang were about shovels, so you've got him/us there.
Pillock.

[@rorytclancy]

Takes one to know one.

[@Drever98]

Isn't Tom Tuohy the police man in Seamus Moore's Honda 50 video?

[@frankthefrankly8055]

i bet that 30 Pieces of Silver will buy you a nice new Harley-Davison, Eh Christy ?

[@dementedgray2576]

😂😂😂😂 The meme is so much funnier!

[@Dannysubliminal]

Tuohy don't get me wrong christy moore is a legend but your version I think is much better! its your song and its for you;)

[@nigefal]

I thought Christy was a bit of git for saying stall the digger but he explained why, which is fair enough.
But jayus, you would think after a couple of months working on the song he would know the words and rhythm?
He did a good job of it all the same, when he got into his stride.

[@patdeVerse]

as a trad singer, I know exactly how he feels. All those people who clap along never clap in time, and they often put the singer off. I have to tell you it drives most trad singers and musicians mad!

[@roisinconway1628]

stall da diger!!!

[@joesanfly]

Good job.

[@paulshox]

@ilovtuners its stall the digger there now :)

[@roryalcorn43]

[@benmcdermott1383]

Agreed

[@topcat9991]

Embarrassing that Christie had to read the chords and lyrics on such high profile TV programme. The song IS easy.

[@aprisonerscinemastephenmur6932]

It's called humility.

[@Gaz10t]

Tubertys quite shit in my opinion..
