And hes just incredible every time. Amazing interview. 💚☘️🇮🇪
Great stuff lads, great interview.
what a terrifically honest open and humble admission of the flaws we can all have, the best to all who can recognise this pit and find the strength to climb out of it.
Absolutely beautiful lads. So genuine, A memorable podcast from all involved. To my Delight my first two Norris podcast and it won't be my last.
I could relate to these guys stories…….now sober nearly 17 years. Still get flashbacks of the shame. It’s like I’m a different guy now and he was someone else!
Went to a AA meeting when I was 20 at Cuan Mhuire in Co Galway havent touched drink since that first meeting 8 yrs ago...life is one day day at a time.Great videos lads
Are you now 22
God Bless you. Never Ever forget your Old Arse.

Wow what a fantastic podcast, luke Kelly, brilliant song he sang about he friend son with disabilities, simplesety 💙drinking is the culture here in Ireland I stopped drinking 3half yrs ago my social life now is totally different ☺️☕🦋
Respect to the lads and Christy for observing the 12th tradition. So often we see personalities and celebrities with absolutely no regard for it.
First timer and new subscriber to the channel. Probably came up as I regularly watch Christy on TH-cam, what an excellent video. What lovely gentleman, proud Irish men with love from Scotland 🏴
Isn't it so hopefull for people watching those three.are loving life without any drug.❤

So glad you both got to meet our national treasure and a great support of you both. A memorable podcast - classy all around. Best always Well done to all. Love the background of cork. 👍
Such a pleasure to serendipitously have come across such a charming as well as amazing interview.
Kudos to Christy and to the delightful Two Norries!
Hi guys, just come across your show following Tadgh Hickey and then of course couldn't resist stopping by Christy Moore. Italian based in co. Leitrim and Italy here, involved in drama and music, and head over heels for Irish trad and folklore.
Among the many stories, real stories of real people I got to know of, having spent many a season in Ireland, I need to briefly share one with you and see if that could become a story from a writer, or a song from a poet.
A former landlady of mine: a widow many years, four children and the youngest chap was a small kid when his alcoholic dad died of a cancer. A nice looking guy as all the family is, not so interested in studies nor jobs, would regularly pick up some hobby and drop it; also keen on getting around with strange companies: this was himself as a late teenager, always kind, always innocently smiling, always a worry for his mum...
She'd had to bring up the family as a solo performer: a nurse and a pub owner. Her eldest child, a boy, was a teenager when his father died and had got to know his dad well enough as to hate the fact he was an alcoholic: just loathed the fact and despised the man.
The two girls: no particular issues about them, professionally and existentially balanced lassies.
I got to meet the eldest son some years ago: grown up in the West of Ireland, had moved to Boston and moved back.
He would stay with his mum and her partner, a solid, feisty, humorous, hard working Irish man with an amazingly low voice.
So, this woman's eldest son stays with them and tries to drink his depression, sensitivity and intelligence away.
A brilliant guy as brilliant as it can get: a degree in Law, but also a professional carpenter for many years in Boston. Loves to work with his hands as well as his brain, and is training again to get into the legal career five days a week, and works as a builder or carpenter over weekends: his mum used to say how good he would be in whatever activity, and how quickly employers would hire him.
You should have seen him knocking on your door still wearing a suit, before getting changed in order to tile your kitchen floor. Who could possibly forget someone looking between Montgomery Clift and Paul Newman, wearing a white T-shirt, exchanging profound yet ironic considerations about life while cutting your tiles on a sunny Summer's day?
His girlfriend has left him a while ago, but he and maybe they both know they would love each other for ever.
This Irish wonder is trying to stay sober.
One day he comes up with the news: his love for life had just passed away, she was sick and didn't make it.
I don't know if this contributed, but one day he came to work and couldn't hold the cutter straight, and smelled of alcohol 10 feet away. Worried as I was for his own safety, I called his mother and then of course told him not to drive home. Anyway, he left and got home safe.
The job was done, and all was good apart from the fact that he'd mixed up the tiles colours thanks to the "spirit" inspiration on that last day, but the floor turned out great anyway.
We stayed in touch. He was my anchor in one occasion when I needed support in dealing with a sly guest and we kept exchanging texts from time to time especially about coffee: he adored a good pint of Italian style coffee and loved to show off his knowledge: you must know that the best coffee in the world is from Hawaii...
Around three years ago, me in Italy. A friend and a former neighbour of that family's texted me that Kevin had been found dead in a river, around Christmas if I'm not mistaken and I'm not sure what river: could be the mythical river Shannon, have to check the obituary online.
He might have been 40, or even younger.
He might have been drunk and it might have been a fatality. Might.
I no longer wonder at how so many writers a small nation like Ireland could give birth to: Irish people share and bear dense stories and there seems to be so much in so little.
Thank you for inspiring me to share this story for the first time: I feel I owe it to Kevin and to his family.
Thank you guys for being still around and for taking care of yourself: you're doing a big favour to all your loved ones, friends, fans, those in touch and those far away.
All the best.

Only after watching this was absolutely brilliant, big christy fan but yee were brilliant with the questions and christy with his answers. Emotional exceptional 👏 exceptional
Hi LADS. iv just watched the show with yourselves and christy. It was absolutely amazing. You two guys are amazing too, after all ye have been tru, to jump back an do what ye have done with such success. Christy has always been an inspiritation to me, in my own music, and I have the greatest respect for him and for how he handled himself during his dark years. Keep up the good work lads. Regards Jack Doyle, from Navan. Happy Christmas to you all
Thanks so much!!
I’m in the depths of it… met Christy in a meeting in Monkstown and there was only 3 of us in the room. I doubt Christy would remember it but I certainly do. Anyway, thanks for this chat!
Really enjoyed this podcast. Well done guys. Amazing you got to sing with Christy Timmy! Thanks for all yer hard work and the amazing guests ye have on 🙏
Thanks lads for hosting Christy Moore. His guitar playing is an inspiration to me.

Thanks for this interview with the great Christy Moore. His voice and songs and spirit are still beautiful. Good honest talk about serious stuff.
Christy is such a great guy to listen both in speech and song.
Love these lads. It's as a good as any meeting listening to them.
Really powerful interview to watch. To my shame my first two Norris podcast. Watched from start to end. BTW the bar man that sings Bright Blue Rose is John Horgan from Innishannon.
Brilliant lads fair play 👏👏
Fantastic gents, what an Irish hero. Shivers when ye sang Black is the Colour. Bucket list moment for me to see Christy live.
I’ve just gone and bought tickets to his Mayo show in October. An Extraordinary Man.

No mention of moving hearts??? Great interview tho
I would have love Christy to have included Paddy Galvin in his Cork song Paddy wrote 'the mad woman of cork' and when Micheal d came to Paddy's funeral he said that when Paddy wrote that and ot was published Michael D said he had to pull into the side of the road and said' They won't like this' Christy has sang this .John Spilllane does it too
Absolutely beautiful lads. Genuine, raw and true. Personally really enjoyed this from all of ye lads. Brilliant. God bless.
Powerful. I spent 6 months in tabor, wish it worked

Jasus lads that was a great chat and few songs, really enjoyed it, long live Christy.,any chance of getting Damien Dempsey on for a chat?
We'd be honoured to speak to Damien.
He recently covered a song by Rob Corcoran, a Dublin lad currently in London called Ringing That Bell.

Great podcast. My favourite song 'Black is the colour'
Joined in singing from Scotland, brilliant you 3 xxxxxxxx ✨✨✨
Brilliant av never heard this before. Am Sober a Day at a Time ( more or less)44Years and without a doubt it was Almighty God through the AA Program that gave me a Life. Like. C.M. I to had a Heart Attack at 27 in Hospital for 2Weeks but took First Drink as soon as I came out. It took another 2Years before I got Sober. The Last Time a Doc spoke to me about Drinking She said. " If you want to Drink yourself to Death their is nothing I can do." Thank God He heard My Family's Prayers as I myself was incapable of even doing that. GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE.
Pure class lads and humble

It's a beautiful love story, lemon 7s
Great interview ,well done all.
Wonderful podcast.!!
There are some remarkable people in this world & Christy Moore is one of them. Analysing his magic is a fruitless pursuit - it enough to know that it's there. A few years ago I put such thoughts into the context of a song:
Christy Moore Song
{w&m Ed Pickford}
Christy Moore on the stage is an eloquent rage
In the eye of the storm he is still
And his sonorous voice really gives you no choice
As you find your mind bend to his will
The tools of his trade are simple & played
With driving and rhythmic passion
Drumming his drum shooting words from his gun
Commitment is always in fashion
Chorus:
There are song-writing singers and singers of song
They all have their place in the van
But if you want an artist who burns like a fire
I’d say Christy Moore is your man
With the blur of his wrist and the beat of his fist
Christy rattles the bones of a song
And it’s clear from the start that the crowd plays its part
In the art as the song dances on
Christy Moore speaks and a storm cracks its cheeks
And never shows signs of abating
Nothing on Earth between dying and birth
Compares to the act of creating
Chorus
Now the weaving of words like the weaving of cloth
Is a trade that improves by the using
As the craft is displayed & the lyrics cascade
Christy dazzles the crowd with his musing
Hand on the plough bringing sweat to his brow
Christy’s sharing the fruits of the tree
Music is wine so let’s dine from the vine
As we swim in eternity’s sea
Liberal , lefty Christy. Working class hero me eye.
Very interesting. I'm a non-user but addiction is all around us. It's like lightning. You never know where it will land next. Do the three of you think that you could put some of the thoughts expressed on here and write a powerful set of lyrics based on these thoughts?
Brilliant thanks..... X✨✨👏
well done Boyz. up knocka...

Christy talking about the young lad in the padded cell brought me to tears, even as it did Christy in telling it….
I'm 60 years old. An Evertonian, from Liverpool. Sure I'm from Liverpool..I'm a blue. x
Christy has always been an inspiration..
I have been in all those places. Cried when I saw Christy live on numerous occasions.
He's ONE OF US x

Turncoat against ordinary irish men and women
I'm turning this off ....2 men who love listening to them self's...
So if your from the south side it doesn’t matter ,, goes to show ye Norries have a chip get rid of it 😊
How many refugees has he living with him now! Champagne socialist! Make you sick.
What a letdown Christy turned out, singing about how the working man gets screwed my the machine then turns on the working man
Privately educated and pseudo working class.Lives in South Dublin,Ireland's Billy Bragg.
Colum Byrne.
You have told the truth. All he can sing now is original rubbish' by poor Irish songwriters. He seems to have become obsessed with original material. The song he sang at 30:53' is pure desperation. I was disappointed ' when he refused to sing I Wish I Was In England. It was from his Planxty days' and was better than anything he is singing now.
