-How ya. Well tis been a while since ive said anything (bbut at that im inly tellin ya what ye already know) but anyway here goes. PLANXTY are doin another string. Galway, Dublin, Belfast and London. They all are sure to be fantastic gigs and definite sell outs. Lets hope the sound in the point holds up for the sound of PLANXTY. Heres to December........
Anyway in the mean time Christy himself is doing a string of gigs and some of em are very close to home. Kildare, Carlow, Killarney then Bristol and Liverpool before they play some more gigs at Vicar St. in Dublin.
At the moment Christy is thinkin bout another album for next year sometime before the summer if he can squeeze the time in to record it.
Cant think of much else really so ill report back with a review of the Carlow gig next Thursday.
Till then........
 
-This year has seen loads for Christy fans. We've had the PLANXTY gigs, Christy touring, The Box Set, The Planxty live DVD and CD. There was also the doccumentary and some of the concert on Network 2. Great stuff Christy, keep it comin.......
 
Only a matter of days now before the anti-war movement concert, When Bush Comes To Shove, in the Point in Dublin in which Christy himself is headlining. Other acts include Damien Rice, Kila, Mary Black, The Revs, Katell Keineg and Barry Murphy. Tickets can be got at ticketmaster.ie or at outlets nationwide.
