Hello there, I am desperately searching for the tune of a song the Christy Moore wrote and sung. There was some difficulty about the song at the time, I have the lyrics but cannot find the tune to it anywhere, can anyone help. I have Cakewalk........... The name of the song is The Stardust Song Can't wait for all the replies! Brigid

The song was on the original release of "Ordinary Man" album. It was about the Stardust Disco fire, and was called, (I think), "They never came home". The song is critical of the clubs management, (chained fire door's etc), who took legal action to have the album withdrawn, and a second version of the album was released with "Another song is born" replacing it.
If nobody comes up with a tune in this thread, I'll PM you and send you a tape.
love, john.

I was unable to find a midi of this on the web - but a great many of the midi sites are blocked (I'm behind an educational content filter) - cakewalk should be able to give you sheet music if you can find a midi.

Amergin, you really must get yourself a copy of Christy's songbook/autobiography "One Voice - My Life in Song"! It's got all the lyrics you're looking for.

If nobody else has it handy I could type it out for you, but I don't really have the time right now. :-)

Cheers,
Michael
