CHRISTY MOORE
Legendary Irish singer-songwriter Christy Moore is performing at St Michael’s Theatre in New Ross on Friday, June 16. The renowned singer is currently performing a solo tour of
Ireland. Mixing the traditional Irish folk sounds with the (then) emerging sounds of rock’n’roll, Christy Moore emerged in the late 1960s as a shining new voice in Irish music. Since then he has carved out an extremely consistent career, both as a solo artist and with his bands, Planxty and Moving Hearts. Credited as a major influence on artists such as U2, The Pogues and Sinéad O’Connor, Christy continues to tour and record and the dynamism of his performances, as demonstrated on his live albums Live in Dublin, At the Point: Live and Live at Vicar Street, is not to be missed. Tickets for the second of two nights in New Ross (the first night is sold out), cost are available at stmichaelstheatre.com or by calling the theatre box office at 051 421255. GOREY’S GOT TALENT
