I've not an Irish bone in me. But I love Christy Moore. Saw him years ago in the Albert Hall. Hairs on the back of the neck. His Isle of Man song I play every time I go to the Island.

[@taybirm]

I listen to this song once a year and its magical

A genuine national treasure. Love this man. Hairs on back of neck throughout but especially from 3.56 - 4.16 … the icing on the cake

Watching and listening with tear in my eye. Working away from home until the 22nd Dec. Can't wait to go home to see family

[@jamesbrodrickmusic9567]

Go Christy you legend! Shine on! How can three minutes draw tears and make you laugh AND cry at the end. Beautiful how he loves and supports Shane MacGowan.

[@thomasdbarnez]

In my opinion this is the best version of this song, Christy shows the passion this song deserves!

[@davidsmith6355]

yeah its quite brilliant but I'm finding it a bit hard to move away from where it started

[@gerrymcglynn7390]

Ditto ❤🎉😢

[@adrianclarke4139]

[@MickyOHanlon2262]

Christy......simply the best there is that's still doing it. God bless ya Christy.

The strong Irish accent with this song is quality

[@Sken3698]

Mike Ross take Irish accent out of this song is tasteless

[@jordanbowden9523]

A fantastic song written and performed by fantastic artists.
Wishing each and everyone of you all the best this Christmas and may 2023 be kinder to us all x

[@Weatherbyrd]

What a great song! Thank to Christy you for singing Shane's lyrics with with the passion and feeling like no one else could. Ah, but this song breaks my heart after all these years of dreading Christmas. For that matter the whole holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years day is something I survive and (forgive me Lord) sometimes wish I didn't.

[@KeithR-lw3ow]

Wonder how he's/she's doing now

[@johnholland723]

He ain't no he/she.

[@davidparnell1893]

I must have been asleep at the base of a tree for a couple of decades...I awoke today to find Christy Moore's music. I've always wondered why Irish music and intrumentation gave me gooosebumps. There's something in my DNA I suspect. Christy Moore reminds me of what Studs Terkel would sound like if he had been a musician rather than a writer. My favorite version of an R.E.M song was performed by The Corrs, an Irish Band. Christy Moore can almost explain the meaning of life itself in his lyrics and voice. (Just by accident I live in a little community called "Moore" way down south.)

[@JM603]

RIP Shane McGowan…. A legend.

[@gairid]

Christy Moore is one of a kind -- no one sings with the emotion that he does; I love him.

[@johnsustar349]

hey l am australia l love this man..how can you not love the emotion in this song, god l love ya christy moore have seen in you in melbourne, my grand father nathaniel magee would have loved hearing u...god bless u all..

[@phillipoconnor1592]

The melancholy, the dashing of hopes, the malignancy of selfishness in addiction, this song is brilliant. So evocative, brimmed with sadness, moves me everytime

I'd just been listening to some Glen Hansard and this performance popped into my head. It's September and I hate Christmas, that's how good this is.

[@GuydiscipleofJESUS]

No one sings this song like Christie ❤

[@mccarvel]

This was absolutely f**king incredible. It's the first version of this song I've ever heard that doesn't make me miss Kirsty McColl.

[@simonm6699]

One of the best covers I have ever heard!

[@creativeeducation5787]

His voice runs through my soul and soothes me.....Christmas symbolises an awful lot to many people who are reminded of their losses and of course be grateful for what they have.....it's a hard time for many...bitter sweet time for me...

[@dannymyles22]

I love this version. When I heard christy Moore sing this live I thought it couldn't work (being sung by Kirsty and shane). Oh how wrong could I be. And as with every christy Moore song....He keeps you hanging on every word, a great man.

[@philliphaylor1590]

Love this version I'm not Irish but love you people from Ireland ! You say it as it is ! Love the accent aswell

[@OlOleander]

Incredible storytelling and incredible music. Christy's version always brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

[@ferretocious]

Gosh I love his voice. Haven't listened to him in years and he's still just as pure and strong. Gorgeous.

F*CK you! I'm Colombian and Italian born and raised in NYC and feel this song in my bones. The Irish raised me and gave me mucho amor, so f*CK you! I feel this beautiful sweet sad story sung by a son of a country that has produced some of the most beautiful lyrics to our human experience. So once again, f*CK you! And Slainte!

[@ikeyschultz4969]

I respect Christy for keeping the integrity of the lyrics as they were originally written. God bless the “premier county and Shane.”

[@JigginsTV]

Shameful that Im from Newbridge myself and I've only ever seen Christy live just once! It was one of the best nights I've ever had and it was great to see that kids of all ages were in attendance to see such a great man. I remember getting a photo with him after and realising I was actually standing right beside the man himself and it remains one of my proudest moments in life to date
