Emotional show tonight by Christy Moore. It was mostly a straightforward Christy show, with his regular cohort Declan Sinnott , plus a percussionist and a backing singer. Dealing masterfully with an occasionally shouty , older audience in the packed, hot, small venue Christy matter of factly included Phil & his situation in the show. Phil wasn't there but he will , we were told, be listening to a recording of it tomorrow. Prefacing a great version of Faithful Departed with a intro. Phil had sent him he later got us to sing Molly Malone for him - so cliched but so right - tears were shed by me anyway. Among many highlights were Dylan's 'Hattie Carroll & Ian Prowse's Does This Train Stop On Merseyside.
