    Christy ,his honesty and compassion are an inspiration to us all, his understanding of human frailty and human strengths and emotions are in his songwriting, now we need a statue of the man in Dublin ASAP, so as generations can respect his memory. I remember at a gig in kilkenny making him a crisp sandwich, he told me they are an original delicacy of Finglas !
    God rest my friend.

    After watching this interview it's so hard to believe that Christy is no longer here. He sounds like he still has a lot of living left to do. It's very true what he said about the boybands though, nobody will remember who they were. Christy has left us something far more real in the songs he has written and sung. He will always be remembered in these great songs. Rip Christy, condolences to his band, friends, and all his family ❤
