Yeah, must get a copy of that. I'd say there was some great behind the scenes shenanigans, what with Donal Lunny, Christy Moore and their pint bottles of stout. God knows what the priestlike Liam Og O Floinn made of it all!

Despite his God-like status in Ireland, for me Christy Moore comes across as a grumpy and boring b@stard on TV and in concert. Any different in print?
