from songs about the famine, Irish americans, children going missing in san salvador, travellers and unemployment in Ireland this man is a true historian and is not afraid to speak up for what is right! he is a national treasure
@robinsdave1 It's only on CD; I taped it on audio tape originally. I also have a lark in the park concert from 1990, but not Cristy, an Emotional Fish, Cry b4 Dawn etc. on DVD how do I upload that?
it's a bit similar to the gordon lightfoot song Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald isn't it? Christy Moore is a great musician in a land of many great musicians
boby sands w3rote this plus many poams and sent them out to cristy moore who put music to them and cristy did not no untill a long time after who wrote it as bobby sands sent them under a alilis {machella{spelling not good}
@colmbuck i love this man through and through however i didnt like hes ignorant attitude towards drug addicts back in the 80s (not i say addicts not dealers) and I dont like the way he belittles himself by sticking up for knackers like hes lowering himself associating with them hes above there level a great man like him shouldnt even know scum like that exist and walk among us....

@wabblum99 I cant say I agree with you on the travellers topic, everyone has a right to live man. Christy didnt discriminate and who am I to.

Yes indeed this is a fine song but Bobby wrote it to the air of " The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald " by Gordon Lightfoot
