    I had tickets to see him in the concert hall in limerick this year which was eventually cancelled.. Ive never been more excited for a gig. I was going to take my mother to share it with her.. The last gig I had been to there was Finbar Furey in 2019 with my mam and dad. My dad passed away suddenly in 2020. So it would have been a significant and special moment for us.. Im not even an emotional guy but his death broke my heart. He meant every word he sang and he spoke sincerely from the heart. God bless you Christy
