Here we go again...
According to this week's 'Irish Post', Christy Moore was detained for two hours at the port of Holyhead in North Wales last week while entering the UK to play a series of dates.
According to the 'Post', he was questioned about the contents of his briefcase and about the lyrics to some of his songs (mind you, I still can't make head or tail of 'The Reel In The Flickering Light').
They also (get this) asked him questions about family members including the names and ages of his children, what sort of home he lived in and what his kids earned(!).
The police didn't give him a reason for stopping him but later said that it was a routine check. However, they didn't check the contents of his instrument cases or the inside of the vehicle he was travelling in.
His driver was also questioned in a separate room and was asked questions about his family as well, including the names of his deceased parents and details of his siblings.
Both men have now made statements (it says here) to the Irish Embassy in London and the Irish Foreign Affairs Department. The Irish Embassy has said that it is now awaiting a response from the British Home Office.
Over to you, chaps...
