A Terrible Beauty – Christy Moore [CD]

There are few artists who can legitimately claim living legend status without question, Christy Moore is one of those few. 56 years on from the release of his debut album Paddy On The Road, Claddagh Records is delighted to announce that Christy Moore has signed to the iconic label to release his new album, A Terrible Beauty, on 1st November 2024.

Christy Moore is as well known for his live performances as he is for his song-writing. As journalist Stuart Bailie wrote of Christys recent show at Botanic Gardens, Belfast, Behold, the great presence of Christy Moore You know most of the songs as this 79-year-old tilts from rage and sorrow to sweetness and levity. He sings of a nations difficult progress. He notes the villains and the victims. Hell make you cry and there are moments in the crowd when friends embrace each other and the hurt passes through them.
