A decent gentle soul like Christy Moore wouldn't thank you for being defended in those terms

I am sorry. I was having a drink in the Talk of the Town, Birmingham with my wife and my Aunty Eileen the week before it went up
Kellys and Dolans - 2nd and third generation paddies. there but for the grace of God.

To be honest I found the phrase 'I became a supporter of the armed struggle' in Christy's autobiography - very hard to take. He was an adult - he knew what was involved.

the only thing is that he must have seen different things to me that set him off on those beliefs.

Without a doubt though, he is the probably greatest interpreter of folksong in these islands. One of my proudest moments was when he wrote me a personal note saying he had enjoyed on of my albums, it was just so nice of him to bother. I would never use his words in publicity just in case he just being kind.
