He was one of the founding members of the band Planxty, with whom he remained until 1975 and over the years he has become an enormously popular Irish folk singer on his own terms, earning fans across Ireland and the UK. His songs have been celebrated for decades and as a result, Christy Moore tickets will provide fans with an unbeatable concert experience.
He formed Planxty in 1972 alongside Liam Óg O'Flynn, Andy Irvine, and Dónal Lunny and did so following the release of “Prosperous” the same year. It followed “Paddy on the Road” in 1969, which was a minor release with only a few hundred copies, and laid the foundations of a long and successful career ahead. With Planxty he would release the albums “Planxty” in 1972, “The Well Below the Valley” in 1973 and “Cold Blow and The Rainy Night” in 1974 and, despite leaving in 1975, would also release “After the Break” in 1979 and various more until “Planxty Live 2004” in 2004. In addition to his work with Planxty, he has also performed in the band Moving Hearts.
As a solo artist, Christy Moore would release a wide range of albums, with many contained within the 1970s and 1980s, before being told to slow down in the 1990s. Despite this he has continued to release albums to the modern day, with 2009’s “Listen” going in at number on in the Irish albums charts. Examples of his work include “Whatever Tickles Your Fancy” in 1975, “The Iron Behind the Velvet” in 1978, “Christy Moore and Friends” in 1981, “The Spirit of Freedom” in 1986, “Some and Strong Whiskey” in 1991, “This is the Day” in 2001 and “Listen” in 2009. These releases have become some of the biggest in Ireland and would earn him his status as one of their greatest living musicians.
So get hold of Christy Moore tickets for a show that will be well worth the wait as he takes to the stage and performs some beautifully crafted classics. It will be an unbeatable opportunity to witness an Irish legend in a live setting.
