I agree, he makes me feel my Irishness, a marvelous signer. Transcends Genres, much like Johnny Cash.

thread_title:  Song Credits 

message: Christy always seems to have a capo on the first fret of his guitar, but it sounds in standard tuning - does he tune down a halfstep and just use a capo to bring it back up again?  Maybe someone who knows could add this info, I've searched the web and haven't found anything.

thread_title:  Christy's guitar tuning 

message: Does anybody have a list of them? Who wrote 'natives' and what inspired it? It's a very powerful song- 'A touch of a stranger's hand, innocence turns to shame'. I went looking for 'Before the Deluge' on YouTube and up came Jackson Browne. There are a lot of his songs influenced by American folk, most especially the great Prosperous which had a very strong Woody Guthrie influence. So I suppose I'm wondering what songs Christy has written himself. Anybody? 86.42.71.111 (talk) 23:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Songs Christy has written?

message: The article says Christy Moore is creditted with saving the tune from oblivion, yet this is not what is on the wiki page about the song: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Well_Below_the_Valley
Also, as a Child Ballad, it was in print already. Scarcely 'lost'. (83.9.78.149 (talk) 10:55, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: This could be included in the article if reliable citation was added.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 15:06, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Moore is also a fan of [[Kildare GAA]]

message: I have editted the 'politics' section, to point out the song Back Home In Derry is the song based on Lightfoots song. However, the text is a little unclear as to whether it was Christy or Bobby Sands who first used the tune. The phrase "he wrote it" suggests it was sands. If it was CM, perhaps "put it to the tune of" (37.30.65.254 (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that's a little unclear. According to Moore's book, One Voice, p. 37, he (Moore) first heard the song sung by a recently-released prisoner in Derry. Moore wrote that he had received poems, under a pseudonym, from an inmate of H-Blocks but he did not know the name of the author until he heard the song being sung and put two and two together.
