f Christy Moore is one of the most
important singers in the great revival oi traditional irish music which has taken
it back into the mainstream of popular
culture. Way back in 1971 his recording : Prosperous set the tone oi the iolk
music scene for the next decade. With
Liam D’Flynn, Donal Lunny and Andy lrvine he iormed Planxty, then aiter a
: long solo spell, Moving Hearts— a real
iusion oi idioms - uiilean pipes and
saxophone, electric guitar, bass, drums et ai. Like Scotland's Dick i Gaughan his singing is rooted in the
ballads and the songs oi the torn and 19th centuries but he has many recently written ones pointing up the
injustices and Insanity in his country
and the world. No one can be in any
doubt where his sentiments ile. Christy is taking his guitar, his
bodhran, his good humour and great
voice to the Pavilion, Glasgow, on 14
