Moving Hearts are one of the truly great lost rock bands. Seeing them at the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road was an immense evening even though Christy was not longer with the band by then. With the right management they could have been up there with the likes of the E Street band. The energy and punch was staggering and the delicacy just beautiful. Thanks you guys.
Donal is a brilliant musician and very talented his music comes from within this shows he's a true artist A wonderful documentary about his music, his life, relationships and his family However the one thing I noticed is Donal did not mention Sinead O'Connor and his late son Shane but he talked about all his other children
He seems to be the Forrest Gump of Irish music. Always where the action is, but in a happenstance, almost accidental way. Always the back bencher, while others take the lead role. When I think of the Bothy Band, I think of Triona and Mícheál Ó Domhnaill and Kevin Burke. When I think of the bouzouki, I think of Andy Irvine. Interesting, too: he played on the infamous Andy Irvine / Paul Brady album, yet no mention of it here.
