Chirsty has produced thirty solo albums in his career and also founded two bands; Planxty, which had eight albums, and Moving Hearts, which had two.

The music video for his single Boy in The Wild was produced by Ellius Grace and stars IFTS-winning and BAFTA nominated Irish actor Liam Cunninham and the IFTA nominated actor Ollie West.

This is Christy’s second ever music video and he has not released one since his song Don’t Forget Your Shovel in 1983. The video was released today.

Boy in The Wild was written by Christy and his friend and collaborator Wally Page who passed away in January of 2023. The single is written from the perspective of a father to his son and features the vocals of Christy’s own son, Andy Moore.

When speaking of Wally Page, the country music songwriter said: “I first met Wally Page when he sang at The Meeting Place in Dublin in 1977. We struck up a relationship that lasted until his death. Along the way we wrote many songs together. I also covered many of his own songs. Months before his death he sent me most of this song. He wondered was there anything in it, there surely was, dear Waldo.

“I think this is Wally at his very best. Apart from his writing he was a beautiful soulful singer who exuded warmth, passion and humour when he sang. Wally’s gigs in The Cobblestone and The Five Lamps were legendary. Many of us miss him here in The Black Lagoon” he previously told IMRO.

A Terrible Beauty was released today, 56 years after the release of the singer’s debut album Paddy On The Road.

Christy will be playing 12 live shows throughout November, December and January at Vicar Street in Dublin.

Joining Christy on the show tonight will be Golden Globe nominees Colm Meaney and Paul Reiser to speak about the Ireland set comedy they worked on together called The Problem with People which will release in Ireland on the 8 ^th of November.

Line of Duty star Vicky McClure will join Patrick tonight to share her love of Dayclubbing and bringing it to Dublin this weekend. The Nottingham born actress will also chat to Patrick about spending time in Ireland and being great friends with her former co-star Adrian Dunbar.

Stand-up comedian Des Bishop is back in Dublin and will be live in studio tomorrow night to talk about meeting his wife when he moved back to America during the pandemic. Des will also be talking about going back on the road in Ireland with his new show Lately, and explain why he thinks Gen Z-ers are misunderstood.
