And hes just incredible every time. Amazing interview. 💚☘️🇮🇪
Respect to the lads and Christy for observing the 12th tradition. So often we see personalities and celebrities with absolutely no regard for it.
Hi guys, just come across your show following Tadgh Hickey and then of course couldn't resist stopping by Christy Moore. Italian based in co. Leitrim and Italy here, involved in drama and music, and head over heels for Irish trad and folklore.
Among the many stories, real stories of real people I got to know of, having spent many a season in Ireland, I need to briefly share one with you and see if that could become a story from a writer, or a song from a poet.
A former landlady of mine: a widow many years, four children and the youngest chap was a small kid when his alcoholic dad died of a cancer. A nice looking guy as all the family is, not so interested in studies nor jobs, would regularly pick up some hobby and drop it; also keen on getting around with strange companies: this was himself as a late teenager, always kind, always innocently smiling, always a worry for his mum...
She'd had to bring up the family as a solo performer: a nurse and a pub owner. Her eldest child, a boy, was a teenager when his father died and had got to know his dad well enough as to hate the fact he was an alcoholic: just loathed the fact and despised the man.
The two girls: no particular issues about them, professionally and existentially balanced lassies.
I got to meet the eldest son some years ago: grown up in the West of Ireland, had moved to Boston and moved back.
He would stay with his mum and her partner, a solid, feisty, humorous, hard working Irish man with an amazingly low voice.
So, this woman's eldest son stays with them and tries to drink his depression, sensitivity and intelligence away.
A brilliant guy as brilliant as it can get: a degree in Law, but also a professional carpenter for many years in Boston. Loves to work with his hands as well as his brain, and is training again to get into the legal career five days a week, and works as a builder or carpenter over weekends: his mum used to say how good he would be in whatever activity, and how quickly employers would hire him.
You should have seen him knocking on your door still wearing a suit, before getting changed in order to tile your kitchen floor. Who could possibly forget someone looking between Montgomery Clift and Paul Newman, wearing a white T-shirt, exchanging profound yet ironic considerations about life while cutting your tiles on a sunny Summer's day?
His girlfriend has left him a while ago, but he and maybe they both know they would love each other for ever.
This Irish wonder is trying to stay sober.
One day he comes up with the news: his love for life had just passed away, she was sick and didn't make it.
I don't know if this contributed, but one day he came to work and couldn't hold the cutter straight, and smelled of alcohol 10 feet away. Worried as I was for his own safety, I called his mother and then of course told him not to drive home. Anyway, he left and got home safe.
The job was done, and all was good apart from the fact that he'd mixed up the tiles colours thanks to the "spirit" inspiration on that last day, but the floor turned out great anyway.
We stayed in touch. He was my anchor in one occasion when I needed support in dealing with a sly guest and we kept exchanging texts from time to time especially about coffee: he adored a good pint of Italian style coffee and loved to show off his knowledge: you must know that the best coffee in the world is from Hawaii...
Around three years ago, me in Italy. A friend and a former neighbour of that family's texted me that Kevin had been found dead in a river, around Christmas if I'm not mistaken and I'm not sure what river: could be the mythical river Shannon, have to check the obituary online.
He might have been 40, or even younger.
He might have been drunk and it might have been a fatality. Might.
I no longer wonder at how so many writers a small nation like Ireland could give birth to: Irish people share and bear dense stories and there seems to be so much in so little.
Thank you for inspiring me to share this story for the first time: I feel I owe it to Kevin and to his family.
Thank you guys for being still around and for taking care of yourself: you're doing a big favour to all your loved ones, friends, fans, those in touch and those far away.
All the best.

Went to a AA meeting when I was 20 at Cuan Mhuire in Co Galway havent touched drink since that first meeting 8 yrs ago...life is one day day at a time.Great videos lads
Are you now 22
God Bless you. Never Ever forget your Old Arse.
Spent 12 weeks in can mhuire athy in 2013 never looked back. Proud of you keep it one day at a time and enjoy the good days ,learn from the bad days best of luck and god bless ❤
Isn't it so hopefull for people watching those three.are loving life without any drug.❤
I could relate to these guys stories…….now sober nearly 17 years. Still get flashbacks of the shame. It’s like I’m a different guy now and he was someone else!
what a terrifically honest open and humble admission of the flaws we can all have, the best to all who can recognise this pit and find the strength to climb out of it.
I’m in the depths of it… met Christy in a meeting in Monkstown and there was only 3 of us in the room. I doubt Christy would remember it but I certainly do. Anyway, thanks for this chat!
Wow what a fantastic podcast, luke Kelly, brilliant song he sang about he friend son with disabilities, simplesety 💙drinking is the culture here in Ireland I stopped drinking 3half yrs ago my social life now is totally different ☺️☕🦋
Thanks lads for hosting Christy Moore. His guitar playing is an inspiration to me.
Thanks for this interview with the great Christy Moore. His voice and songs and spirit are still beautiful. Good honest talk about serious stuff.
Absolutely beautiful lads. So genuine, A memorable podcast from all involved. To my Delight my first two Norris podcast and it won't be my last.
Only after watching this was absolutely brilliant, big christy fan but yee were brilliant with the questions and christy with his answers. Emotional exceptional 👏 exceptional
Fantastic gents, what an Irish hero. Shivers when ye sang Black is the Colour. Bucket list moment for me to see Christy live.
I’ve just gone and bought tickets to his Mayo show in October. An Extraordinary Man.
respect to these lads
Brilliant av never heard this before. Am Sober a Day at a Time ( more or less)44Years and without a doubt it was Almighty God through the AA Program that gave me a Life. Like. C.M. I to had a Heart Attack at 27 in Hospital for 2Weeks but took First Drink as soon as I came out. It took another 2Years before I got Sober. The Last Time a Doc spoke to me about Drinking She said. " If you want to Drink yourself to Death their is nothing I can do." Thank God He heard My Family's Prayers as I myself was incapable of even doing that. GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE.
Christy is such a great guy to listen both in speech and song.
First timer and new subscriber to the channel. Probably came up as I regularly watch Christy on RUclips, what an excellent video. What lovely gentleman, proud Irish men with love from Scotland 🏴

Great stuff lads, great interview.
Fab podcast .... Love Christy Moore....
There are some remarkable people in this world & Christy Moore is one of them. Analysing his magic is a fruitless pursuit - it enough to know that it's there. A few years ago I put such thoughts into the context of a song:
Christy Moore Song
{w&m Ed Pickford}
Christy Moore on the stage is an eloquent rage
In the eye of the storm he is still
And his sonorous voice really gives you no choice
As you find your mind bend to his will
The tools of his trade are simple & played
With driving and rhythmic passion
Drumming his drum shooting words from his gun
Commitment is always in fashion
Chorus:
There are song-writing singers and singers of song
They all have their place in the van
But if you want an artist who burns like a fire
I’d say Christy Moore is your man
With the blur of his wrist and the beat of his fist
Christy rattles the bones of a song
And it’s clear from the start that the crowd plays its part
In the art as the song dances on
Christy Moore speaks and a storm cracks its cheeks
And never shows signs of abating
Nothing on Earth between dying and birth
Compares to the act of creating
Chorus
Now the weaving of words like the weaving of cloth
Is a trade that improves by the using
As the craft is displayed & the lyrics cascade
Christy dazzles the crowd with his musing
Hand on the plough bringing sweat to his brow
Christy’s sharing the fruits of the tree
Music is wine so let’s dine from the vine
As we swim in eternity’s sea
Well done lads .. be proud of the the great work ye doing lads
Great podcast. My favourite song 'Black is the colour'
Amazing chat guys this is the best pod cast I have seen fantastic guy keep it up Love the energy you have. Past it on. Big time. (Thank you so so much )

God Bless you Christy. Soundtrack of my life. Well done lads.

Jasus lads that was a great chat and few songs, really enjoyed it, long live Christy.,any chance of getting Damien Dempsey on for a chat?
We'd be honoured to speak to Damien.
Christy talking about the young lad in the padded cell brought me to tears, even as it did Christy in telling it….
thanks
YNWA - INDEED PURE INSIGHT - THANK YOU X
I agree with you christy, love Johnny Spillane and jimi Mccarthy...
Absolutely beautiful lads. Genuine, raw and true. Personally really enjoyed this from all of ye lads. Brilliant. God bless.
It's a beautiful love story, lemon 7s
Thanks for this lads ❤
well done Boyz. up knocka...
Brilliant words of advice
I would have love Christy to have included Paddy Galvin in his Cork song Paddy wrote 'the mad woman of cork' and when Micheal d came to Paddy's funeral he said that when Paddy wrote that and ot was published Michael D said he had to pull into the side of the road and said' They won't like this' Christy has sang this .John Spilllane does it too
Very interesting. I'm a non-user but addiction is all around us. It's like lightning. You never know where it will land next. Do the three of you think that you could put some of the thoughts expressed on here and write a powerful set of lyrics based on these thoughts?
Top show as always lads
Liberal , lefty Christy. Working class hero me eye.
No mention of moving hearts??? Great interview tho
I love bright blue rose, put link of clip on.
100% 🇮🇪☘💚👍
y is his guitar tuned down a step
Because it suits his voice
So if your from the south side it doesn’t matter ,, goes to show ye Norries have a chip get rid of it 😊
I'm turning this off ....2 men who love listening to them self's...
Turncoat against ordinary irish men and women
How many refugees has he living with him now! Champagne socialist! Make you sick.
What a letdown Christy turned out, singing about how the working man gets screwed my the machine then turns on the working man
Privately educated and pseudo working class.Lives in South Dublin,Ireland's Billy Bragg.
Colum Byrne.
You have told the truth. All he can sing now is original rubbish' by poor Irish songwriters. He seems to have become obsessed with original material. The song he sang at 30:53' is pure desperation. I was disappointed ' when he refused to sing I Wish I Was In England. It was from his Planxty days' and was better than anything he is singing now.
traitor
What are you on about
@@CountryMusicMan go back 2 bed lad. clueless smh
I'm just confused as to who's a traitor lol I haven't a clue about the two norries or anything
@@Scotia6261 Jaysuz Steo Wall killed a guy?
What a great podcast
