Christy Moore review: Superb set at Vicar Street proves he's no ordinary man 

Pat Carty wasn't the greatest fan of Christy Moore before this gig. He left Vicar Street as a convert 

Christy Moore at Vicar Street in Dublin.

Christy Moore, Vicar St, Dublin ★★★★☆

Truth be told, I only saw Christy Moore live once before, supporting U2 in Croke Park back in 1987. I’ve no excuse as there’s much to admire about the man and his music so I went along Saturday night out of curiosity as much as anything else. Could this giant of Irish music since the glorious days of Planxty and Moving Hearts be as great live as everybody claims? Yes, indeed he could.
