In ways, every Christy Moore concert is special. But clearly, some are more special than others, as evidenced by the performance at Cork Opera House on Sunday that raised funds for Cork Life Centre and also acted as a tribute to that alternative educational establishment’s director, Don O’Leary.
On a night with some weighty issues to the fore, Moore rolled out a greatest hits set where the serious songs bristled with even more significance than usual, but it also felt just as important to sing along with the fun stuff.
