Moore, dubbed as ‘Truly the Bob Dylan of Irish music’, has a successful recording career spanning over 40 years in which he’s created a phenomenal 30 albums and is internationally regarded as one of the best-loved singer-songwriters of contemporary Irish music.

Moore has developed an universal fan-base for his well-crafted tradition-based tunes mixed with elements of rock and popular music, and considered a major inspiration to artists U2, Sinead O’Connor, along with Bono, Elvis Costello, the Pogues and Billy Bragg who cite him as a key influence in their music.

Declan Sinnott is one of Ireland’s most gifted musicians, he helped form the pioneering and innovative band, Moving Hearts alongside his compatriot Moore.

A tight bond formed between these two creative and talented musicians, a bond which continues today, evident in their live performances.

Infamous for making music founded with political and social commentary, an extensive back catalogue of band and solo work charts the emotive personal and political issues that have shaped Christy’s life.

For a sensory contradiction of subtlety and strength, poignancy and banter these are gigs to be embraced and most certainly not to be missed.
