The gig went as follows:

Christy and Dec

Well to honest I really wish I didnt have a few drinks before the gig cause i ended up havin a few too many and woudlnt have a hope of givin ye the actual setlist but heres me review:
Christys nephew played support and he's definitly someone to watch out for. Fantastic stuff altogether.
 
Then Christy and Dec came on and got stuck into the Yellow Triangle. Great stuff indeed. After that there was another song (cant remember which) but once that was over Christy started havin a laugh with the audience. Everyone was in great form and Christy was recievin some response. He said he'd have to wake us all up with a whack of the Biko and by God thats exactly what he did. I know he played Beeswing and he gave us a wonderful version of Back Home In Derry - then I requested Cliffs Of Dooneen to which his response was " then Ride On and Lisdoonvarna and we can all go home" but my night was set with that song anyhow. He saw the fantastic response he was gettin so he told us he'd find an extra half hour for us somewhere...........and he did. Dec sang a song and twas great. The beginnin was interupted b the boys down the back callin out for Nancy Spain but Christy soon whisht em up by raisin his finger. Anyhow taught he might be slightly annoyed at that but the next song he played was in turn Nancy Spain. So I think everyone got what they were lookin for and we were all in histerics inbetween songs too.
Absolutly fantastic night but sorry i cant give ya the setlist cause there was a fistful of songs but i dont remember the order.
Christy might post it on www.christymoore.com whenever he gets the chance next time round.
So till the next time....................
 
By the way if you've been to any gigs gis an aul email so ill have more than that not very informative one.
Cheers
