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 songwriting. As journalist Stuart Bailie wrote of Christy’s 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 nation’s difficult progress. He notes the villains and the victims. He’ll make you cry and there are moments in the crowd when friends embrace each other and the hurt passes through them.”
