Gerry Tully sings The Christy Moore Songbook

Gerry Tully Sings The Christy Moore Songbook is a live folk show celebrating the songs, stories and remarkable repertoire associated with Christy Moore.

Irish folk singer, guitarist and songwriter Gerry Tully has spent more than forty years performing and gathering songs. Like generations of Irish musicians, he has long been influenced by Christy Moore’s ability to find a great song, inhabit it and carry its story to an audience.

This is not an impersonation or tribute act in the conventional sense. There is only one Christy Moore. Instead, Gerry approaches the songs in his own voice and his own style, drawing on a lifetime spent playing folk music and allowing the words and stories to remain at the heart of the performance.

The show travels through songs from across Christy Moore’s long career — from powerful anthems and social commentary to humour, reflection and quiet ballads. Along the way, Gerry shares some of the stories and context surrounding the songs and the writers behind them.

Gerry’s relaxed stage presence and natural storytelling create an atmosphere where an audience can listen, remember and sing along.

Gerry Tully Sings The Christy Moore Songbook is ultimately about the enduring power of a great song — and a celebration of the extraordinary body of music Christy Moore has carried to audiences in Ireland and around the world.
