Plenty Moore in the tank

The sweat and the ballads still flow freely and when Christy takes to the Marquee stage, expect the unexpected. Carl Dixon reports

NOW 67, Christy Moore has proved himself as a songwriter but it is his interpretations of the songs of others that has always been his strongest suit.

For Moore and Declan Sinnott their concert on Jun 23 will be their eight successive year playing at the Marquee in Cork. “The sweat still flows if the concert is going well and I still belt out the ballads,” he says “My belly might be a bit softer but not my repertoire. I do like to take chances in the live arena and try new things. I do like to entertain, and I like to enjoy myself too.”
