Produced by Declan Sinnott, Lily features ten new songs. Lily starts the story-telling with Christy’s early memories of County Kildare, and the album takes us on a journey across the water and back home again with songs from Christy, Peter Gabriel and local heroes; John Spillane and Declan O’Rourke. One of the most compelling and inspirational musicians Ireland has ever seen, Christy Moore has a universal fan base and still continues to entertain; cementing him as an Irish icon. It is his deep urge to connect with the listener and to transmit the meaning of the songs he sings that has endeared him to audiences of all ages. Christy has produced more than 25 solo albums, from Paddy on the Road in 1969 to Where I Come From in 2013. Christy Moore: Journey, a documentary on 50 years of song, aired on RTE television in April 2016 and this summer will be busy as ever on the live circuit; with shows at Dublin’s Vicar Street and Grand Canal Theatre, London’s Royal Festival Hall and the Cambridge Folk Festival.
