Christopher Andrew "Christy" Moore (born 7 May 1945) is an Irish folk singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is one of the founding members of Planxty and Moving Hearts. His first album, Paddy on the Road was recorded with Dominic Behan in 1969. In 2007, he was named as Ireland's greatest living musician in RTÉ's People of the Year Awards.
Moore was born in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. He was originally a bank employee who wanted to express himself using traditional music. During a bank strike in 1966, which lasted twelve weeks, he went to England, as many striking officials did, but didn't return when the strike was settled. "I had a wild and wonderful time in England, with no bank manager looking over my shoulder," he said. Doing general labouring work, he frequented the folk clubs and the Irish music pubs where he met Seamus Ennis, Margaret Barry, Luke Kelly, Martin Byrnes and many other traditional musicians.
1972 brought his first major release, Prosperous, which brought together the four musicians who shortly thereafter formed Planxty: Liam O'Flynn, Andy Irvine and Dónal Lunny. For a time they called themselves "CLAD", an acronym of their names, but soon decided on Planxty.

Christy Moore - Joxer Goes To Stuttgart
A great morning after song...with a bunch of pictures, because after a night of heavy drinking who doesn't want to see bright colors and zooming shots?
Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, I love the ground, Whereon she stands. I love my love and well she knows, I love the ground, whereon she goes, I wish the day, it soon would come, When she & I could be as one. Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, I love the ground, Whereon she stands. I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep, For satisfied, I ne'er can be, I write her a letter, just a few short lines, And suffer death, a thousand times. (Guitar) Black is the colour of my true love's hair, Her lips are like some roses fair, She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands, I love the g...

Made in 1994 by Sarah Powers for RTE, released on VHS by Hummingbird Productions. Really insightful, quiet, focusing on the music. Unfortunately never released on DVD. Many great musical performances, including some Planxty and Moving Hearts footage.

Christy Moore singing My Little Honda 50 on The Late Late Show in December 2009. The original singer of the song is Mr Tom Tuohy, and he is in the audience with Bob Sullivan and Brian Hennessy. Video is not of great quality but Christy plays the song really well. He stops the crowd for clapping too early.
Christy Moore appears on RTÉ Primetime to perform his new single 'Arthurs Day' and give his views on the 'Arthurs Day' events organised by drinks company Diageo who manufacture Guinness.

Here is an old studio album version of this song. I think Christy Moore was singing far too low in this song back then. This version is in A minor a teeny bit higher than standard. I have open A minor. The chords are Am, Dm, G, G7, F, C. This version has an intro, six verses and short choruses, rather than four, and an outro. And it doesn't have half of the first verse again. It has to be viewed and liked or else!
It was time to play this Makro MA-10 guitar. It was covered in dirt and needed a big long sponge bath. It has new strings. This is a version of the recent song "Where I Come From". But the lyrics in the chorus are changed from: I'm a bogman, to: Newbridge. It is in F sharp minor. I have Em with the capo on the second fret. The chords are: Em, Am. This version has three verses and four choruses and the end. The guitar and song have to be loved very much!

Born in the middle of the afternoon
In a horsedrawn carriage on the old A5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed,
"You can't stay here" the policeman said.
CHORUS
You'd better get born in some place else.
So move along, get along, Move along, get along,
Go! Move! Shift!
Born in the common by a building site
Where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels
The local Christian said to me,
"You'll lower the price of property."
CHORUS
Born at potato picking time
In a noble tent in a tatie field.
The farmer said, "The work's all done
It's time that you was moving on."
CHORUS
Born at the back of a hawthorn hedge
Where the black hole frost lay on the ground.
No eastern kings came bearing gifts.
Instead the order came to shift.
CHORUS
The eastern sky was full of stars
And one shone brighter than the rest
The wise men came so stern and strict
And brought the orders to evict
CHORUS
Wagon, tent or trailer born,
Last month, last year or in far off days.
Born here or a thousand miles away
There‚s always men nearby who'll say
CHORUS
The sleeve notes from 'Live at the Point"
has two extra verses (added by Christy)
Six in the morning out in Inchicore
The guards came through the wagon door.
John Maughan was arrested in the cold
A travelling boy just ten years old.
CHORUS
Mary Joyce was living at the side of the road
No halting place and no fixed abode.
The vigilantes came to the Darndale site
And they shot her son in the middle of the night.
