	Christy Moore - feature article in the Living Tradition magazine
		Christy Moore was born in 1945 in Newbridge, County Kildare, an industrial town known for its rope and cutlery manufacturers.
		Christy was introduced to the big ballads by John Riley, a traveller, and it was contact with this old singer that led him to champion the cause of the travellers.
		Christy was always one to speak out for what he believed in, and in the 1990s he was brave enough to publicly express his condemnation of the wanton bombing of civilian targets by the I.R.A. He left Moving Hearts in 1983 and has performed solo ever since.

	CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: Christy Moore (with Glen Hansard & Luka Bloom) in The Shelter
		Christy, along with Glen Hansard, and Luka Bloom were all taking part in a Charity Gig and what a night it was.
		Christy, who hadn't performed in public for a while, looked relaxed and contented as he took to the stage.
		From Christy's point of view I can understand how hard it must be for someone that has spent everyday of their life on the road performing in front of large crowds and now only does it on the odd occasion annually.

	Amazon.co.uk: Burning Times: Music: Christy Moore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Christy Moore has been playing and recording music for over 40 years and is somehow still relatively unknown outside of the Folk and Irish music communities.
		Christy doesn't sing other people's sngs - he immerses himself in the subject matter, displaying a unique understanding of the characters and situations as if, in the case of "Beeswing", he was the travelling man who loved but could not tame the wild and free spirited woman who left him for another.
		More than ever Christy Moore is an artist for now, this moment, for today, as he celebrates the good and the bad of the modern world, with a dignity and humanity few can master, and even fewer choose to attempt.

		Christy Moore played the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic a couple of weeks ago, was amazing to see him play live after listening to his songs for the last 15 years or so.
		It was the first time I have seen Christy Moore play live after listening to his music for the last 15 years or so, excellent gig, only wish I had got the chance to see him play at Cambridge Folk Festival earlier in the year.
		Christy Moore has to be one of my all time favourites, great Irish singer songwriter, he played at the Liverpool Philharmonic on the Friday and Saturday night, giving a tremendous performance with Declan Sinnott.

	Christy Moore : King Puck - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		It was apparently recorded as a result of a collaboration between Christy Moore and the ubiquitous Irish music guru Donal Lunny.
		Moore explains in the liner notes that "during 1992 Donal Lunny and I initiated arrangements on a large body of songs.
		Moore adopts a hushed vocal tone throughout; sometimes, as on the mournful "The Two Conneellys," he sings so quietly that the volume has to be raised in order to hear him.

	Phil Cleary - views on Australian football, politics and people
		Stumbling across Planxty and Christy Moore in a small theatre in Limerick City in 1973 was as significant to me as whatever it was that happened to St Paul on the Road to Damascus.
		Although there was a fair dose of the Irish nationalist in Christy Moore 25 years ago Planxty's songs managed to creep past the circumscribed Fenianism of the Clancy Brothers and the often maudlin folk scene.
		Christy Moore sang to the beat of a different, often international, drum.

	Christy Moore with Eleanor Shanley, Cologne 97
		Christy said in an interview in German Folksblatt magazine that he sometimes feels disturbed by some of the people in exile coming to his concerts; "they sometimes forget that they are not the only ones at the concert.
		Christy loves the German audience; as he says, "for me personally it is the best audience in the world.
		Christy also sung "Yellow Furze Woman", a song about his late mother that he performs just seldom; this time because that day would have been her birthday.

	Christy Moore, Live in Dublin 2006
		I write this as Europe prepares for two nights of the Eurovision Song Contest, in which each country submits a song, often performed by a starry-eyed youngster, who does his or her best to cover his or her roots, singing to a pre-recorded backing, with much emphasis put on clothes, dancing and wind machines.
		Five years ago Moore and Sinnott joined up again, this time as a duo, with a huge repertoire based on the songs Christy Moore has recorded.
		But it even if these CDs and the DVD only bear Moore's name on the front cover it is wrong to consider this a solo performer with a backing guitarist.

		Christy performed with Declan Synott, Donal Lunny and Luka Bloom at this hometown venue for the first time in over 20 years.
		There was no interval so Christy and the lads made their way onto the stage immediately and kicked off with a couple of ballads in the form of 'One Last Cold Kiss' and 'Faithful Departed'.
		After 'Ride On', one fan shouted "Christy" to which his response was "I think he shouted that in case I didn't remember who I was".

	SeeWhatYouHear.com Interviews: Christy Moore - Burning Times
		Though it may seem crass to draw comparisons with Johnny Cash's "American Recordings" series, there's a refined quality to Christy Moore's new album, "Burning Times," that recalls the same kind of presence the Man in Black imbued to songs that were not his own.
		Ever the perfectionist, Moore's meticulous preparation also means long periods of incubation, wearing a tune in like a new guitar until there can be no doubt about its place in the fold.
		Moore has enjoyed a fruitful association with some of Ireland's finest songwriters, and so unsurprisingly, when the Kildare-man applies himself to the work of John Spillane and Wally Page, it's an entirely natural fit.

	TARA2008 - Christy Moore : Prosperous
		A silversmith by trade, Donal had been involved in a number of folk groups, and as well as being an all-round musician, he was also an experienced producer of folk albums.
		Christy also recruited Clive Collins playing fiddle, Dave Bland on concertina and Kevin Conneff (who later went on to join The Chieftains) on bodhran.
		Christy, Donal, Liam and Andy enjoyed each others company so much during the recording of 'Prosperous' that they decided to have a go at making it a full-time adventure.

	Christy Moore - POLYDOR - Christy Moore - Song Listings
		Although Moore's previous album (1975's Whatever Tickles Your Fancy) had presented separate LP sides of acoustic and electric material, on 1976's Christy Moore he used a wholly acoustic approach.
		Most of the songs were Moore's arrangements of traditional Irish and English tunes with a narrative bent, and though he went outside those boundaries for the closing cover of Woody Guthrie's "Sacco & Vanzetti," that number fit in well with the tone of the set.
		Raven Records combined Christy Moore with Whatever Tickles Your Fancy on a two-CD reissue, which also included the instrumental B-side of "Nancy Spain" ("The Humours of Ballymagash," credited to the Ballymagash Band) as a bonus cut.

		Christy performs well-loved classics like "City of Chicago" and "Ride On" on this CD as well as upbeat and fun "Lisdoonvarna" and "Delirium Tremens." This album got my husband hooked on Christy - it was worth every penny!
		Cuts on this album come from 4 of Christy's wonderful mid-80's string: 1983's Time Has Come, Ride On ('84), Ordinary Man ('85), and Unfinished Revolution ('87), which are all out of press in the US, and rare in Ireland.

	FolkWorld Article: Christy Moore
		Obviously not everyone knows who Christy Moore is. "I'll see if she's available" says the man at hotel reception when I ring Melbourne to speak with the great Irish folk singer.
		But for young Christy there was no fiddle or flute thrust into childish hands; no rounds of the fleadhs (music festivals); no youthful pub sessions with generations of traditional musicians.
		I can't help reflecting on how familiar this sounds to a Tasmanian, and Christy is intrigued to find we refer to the rest of Australia as "the mainland", just as some Irish do Britain.
