Christy Moore

Top, top news!

[timespeedsup]

I took my then 12 year old son to Glastonbury that year for the first time, and I was really looking forward to CM.

We sat there for a bit, and it started to drizzle. About half way through the set he turned to me and said: "dad, this blokes so miserable, he's made it rain."

So we left to see there were any mime artists to put off or girls in fishnets to ogle in the theatre field

[cheekycheeky]

I so hope he isn't playing.. i was sat woth friends in the middle of an empty pyramid field a few years back, under cardboard, hiding from the pissing rain, waiting for someone to come onstage and had to endure this arse of a musician droning on for HOURS.. we all came close to shooting ourselves.. i know you can be many other places when he's on, but if i manage to be trapped by him again, i will end my life..!!! (i hear some people like him tho! there's nowt as queer as folk)

Thanks. It's albums I want to explore, so Collection is good. Is there a known classic album of his though?

If Christy Moore plays, it will be a very special moment.

He's done so much stuff that it's pointless trying to point newcomers towards his best. However, my personal weakness is for his more militant stuff with Moving Hearts. If you want to be blown away by musical perfection and heart-felt conviction then check out these three:

He will be one to watch. To hear some of his old songs at Glastonbury will be amazing. Fist saw him at Feile (Trip To Tipp) Festival back in 1992.

Fair balls to you mate.

[Wooderson]

I did some rubbish "looking away" from my mates It's still one of my enduring memories. It was a lovely lazy afternoon. There were some tricolors flying. With words combined, it was very emotive. Top chap.

Ah now you know my take in tricolors at Glasto. I worry bout it with U2and now Christy that we could wel see an avalanche of paddywhackery ruining it for everyone.

[Tugger2k]

Have you seen the end of Snatch? "Here's yer fooking shooter." etc

Can be arranged.

[denwyn]

[whiteash]

Jaysus, now the weather that was something special. I remember ripping up the covering off the pitch to try and get a break from it. Torrential!...just added to the atmosphere though, everybody soaked to the skin, locked and dancing around like idiots. great stuff.

[ThomThomDrum]

You better not be kidding bout this.

[Wooderson]

Sure I will be in this!!

[ThomThomDrum]

You may as well go the whole hog if youre gonna go crossdressing at GF.

Is this working?

I'm assuming he will headline the Acoustic stage. Saw him at Cambridge a few years back, when you could hear a pin drop at times. Also saw him there way back in the 80s, just after the Irish Republic had beaten England in a footy match (Euros?), and the atmosphere that day was a little tense to say the least.

[Dark Star]

Great spot! Glasto 2010 is getting better and better. Am probably going to see him in Bristol in May too.
