Ah, but what if they whizz through all the Prosperous stuff? How I'd love to see all that again! But it not just the €55 but the cost of travel to Dublin and somewhere to stay...so I think I'll have to miss out.

I still have all my old tapes, and I'm not so embittered as to dismiss Christy Moore's experimentation after Planxty, much of which was interesting and musically intelligent.

His solo career "early years", however, were passed in England - in Manchester and London - well before the Planxty era and Slattery's.
