Christy Moore

[Donal]

I'd had a couple of Christy's cds for many years and thought they were pretty good. It was when I obtained a copy of the DVD "Gael Force" and saw his two live performances there, that I really became a fan. And then Youtube blossomed! Hooray for Youtube!

Enjoyed those Donal. So many good musicians out there, and so many good Irish ones!

I "discovered" Christy about 3 weeks ago, what a brilliant singer. His version of Joni Mitchell's "Magdalene Launderies" is absolutely stunning, it is one of my favorite youtubes. Declan Sinnott (not sure if this is correct spelling) is a wonderful accompanier, he is the Buddy Miller equivalent of Ireland. You can see a lot of him in The Transatlantic Sessions, mostly on acoustic.

I agree 1000%. Christy has a lot of youtube vids, and they cover a lot of territory. Transatlantic Sessions is pretty good too. I think they are going to be coming out with NTSC versions of some , if not all of the TA series.
