Messenger Boy - Christie Hennessy 

For anyone who has a true love of Irish music, I ask you to sit back and give up 50 minutes of your time to appreciate the unique talent of Christy. Heart warming, heartfelt and the most unassuming gentle being who just knew how to make it sound just right. Christy you are an inspiration

this is a great Documentary about Christie, he was my Uncle and he will live on in our hearts,

I think Christy is up there with the very best Ireland has ever produced,A Man sent from the Heavens R.I.P. Christy, You are a Star.

What a total , utter and complete gentleman , a legend , a genius , an artist , a father a friend , his likes will never be seen again , a one off for sure , Thanks for the memories Christy,,,

I watch this every now and again to put life into perspective. Christie IS a blessing.

"It's good to be a little bit angry for a while, but not to hold on to it"...Rest In Peace Christie

Recently discovered the beautiful voice of Christie Hennessy. What a gentle, lovely man. Rest in peace, Sir.

He came across as such a gentle,kind soul and totally unaffected by any fame.I don't think people realised how talented he was

I think this man is the most beautiful and kind Irish musician to ever have lived. I wrote one of my songs inspired by him, he's just a beacon of light to me. So beautiful

I try to watch this at least once a year to remind me of what is important in life.

Sure miss him ,great singer

An iconic an absolute legend ❤xxx

myself and my ten year old girl watched this ,,just made our christmas ,,RIP Christie x

this man pulls my heart strings every time i listen 2 him christy ur a legend RIP

I have watched this Christy video 5 times. Big regret never got to see him live

Watched this for the first time a few weeks ago and his songs have stayed in my head ever since. Had to watch again. Seemed like the most likeable person you could meet and really down to earth. A pure artist indeed. May he RIP

Finbar furey said it the best way he wasnt a legend christie was an artist his music will live forever in our hearts r.i.p you are a star

Christie was a lovely sincere man

i never met him .. but you can just tell what an absolutely lovely man and what a beautiful kind soul he was ... I'm glad that he found so much success and recognition as an artist later on in life .. . God Bless you Christy boy

I'm so proud to be from Tralee but a bit ashamed that I didn't know about Christie until he had passed away. I play his music all the time now. Even have my family up to date. Long live Christie.

One of the finest men ever lived. Class musician, singer and artist. Thanks Christy, truly an inspiration 🎶💫

What a lovely man. Absolutely love his voice and songs. ☘️☘️

Fabulous singer, God rest him, I have some beautiful memories of my own father, God rest him, having christys songs playing when he was driving.

Uch, I just love him. Rest in peace, Christie.

pure genius he was just pure brialliant never to be forgotten

I love Christie Hennessy discovered him 16 years ago at age 33. Was fortunate enough to see him in concert in cork in 2004 and went to the last goodbye concert in the national concert hall in Dublin in Feb 2019. Hermoine Amber and Tim are all lovely people and are the proud continuation of Christie’s spark of joy that he gifts is with.

This man a people like him should be remembered because when there gone its very sad. And there is nobody of his like coming after him

Christie was 1 of the greatest singers of folk music ever . met him on a few occasions in Tralee ................TRALEE LEGEND .......rest in peace CHRISTIE

Just a genuine down to earth man and a wonderful act R.I.P Christie

I absolutely loved this man. Such a humble man. Love his songs too.

Having watched this film several times you cannot help but love this man. Such humility.

Had the pleasure of his company a few times,a truly nice guy and a massive talent.

What an amazing person with an amazing persona and presence his humility comes across in his interviews. He is one of thousands of balladeers who leave Ireland bring joy to many around the world

One of my favourite performers, his voice, his persona, magical, too young to die, he did leave a wonderful legacy, unique.

We can all be angry that he has left us but his music will live on forever christie wasnt a legend he was bigger than a legend christie was an artist thank you my friend you are a star

He holds a special place in my music heart. A special person beautiful heart and soul ✌️☘️

Ah so sad listening to him speaking and knowing he has passed on,, A True legend lives on and on.....

So much BEAUTY in his voice.....

I heard this is the first time about you and the cost that you did with your friends and Africa give you a salute do you your people would give you the kindness for other people around the world I would love to see more videos so if you guys seen together giving Joy to the World thank you for your efforts and your kindness to us

I have just found this star, Only to find out he is on longer with us. I'm devastated. It's like Eva Cassady all over again . Both so talented and what a lovely men he looked and sounded. Love and respect to all his friends and family Life just isn't fair sometimes ....

Gawd i was introduced to Christie Hennessy 2 years by an alcoholic friend, who would constantly sing the song about being a star, every week, when he visited he would sing and this same song over and over, until i found myself singing it. I never listened to the original. Then things got really bad, on sleepless night i would wake you and start singing, critics never notice me, i'm not a star you see....finishing on, to be a star, to be a star, i am a star. This started happening so much in the middle of the night, goddam, i thought, Danny (my friend) you have a lot to answser for. THEN, 2 nights ago, i thought, hey, why not check out this Christie Hennessy and played this documentary and my god, it blew me away totally and brought more than a few tears to my eyes. I have played it through twice more since. The man was much more than a star, he was an example of how mankind SHOULD be, so kind, so humble, so compassionate, so loving, so positive, so utterly beautiful, radiant, a soul that i love, my goodness, what an impact. Christie, you just keep right on shining your radiant beams down upon us here on mother earth as we pass through hell. Bless your stunning soul and thank you to this site for posting this xxx

OMG watched this for 1st time today this man is just so talented and yet so heartbreaking just love his songs

Beloved friend, you are never forgotten. Thank you Christie for paving the way, for your music and your love of our dear Tralee. 10 years ago today, the news rang out, you had gone home, to where there is the most beautiful bed waiting for you. Bye Bye Love, you are Our Star. X Rest in Peace

2020 and still listening..rest well Christopher.

just brilliant,saw christie first in the brandon hotel tralee ,after that any time he played in ireland i made sure to be there,wonderfull singer.

I was privileged to see christy perform at feile a gentle soul it was a special day..

He had me in tears but I so enjoyed his show - he could sing from his soul and his heart- totally awesomexxx

What a lovely man...........................its seldom one hears such a man.....Christie you are a Star !!!!!

It's sad that Mr Hennessy could not read or right and was severely dislizc .But on the other hand if Christy had the gift of reading and righting the world might never have seen this man's beauty and courage.I think the illiteracy he dealt with all his life focused/dedicated him entirely to his life long love affair with music."I'm enjoying myself,and your paying for it". That's the way to look at your job and enjoy life,I think this quote is so inspirational.

The magnificence of all the glory of heaven comes through this man and his music his life

Christy seemed like an amazing fella, and someone I would loved to have known.

A beautiful person very witty also brings a tear to my eye when he sings rip pc.

Powerful and beautiful I love his music I would have loved to know the man. He blows me away . I cry joyous tears every time I listen. A true GENTLEMAN christy hennessy.

I first saw Christy on the Late Late Show and I thought he was a bit of a joke but since then i think i was the fool because christy was a talented,humble.decent and an extremely good person,I love his songs and sing them everyday.

Christy was a lovely human being not a bad bone in his body love his music

very few artists have what Christy had and not that many people get what he had but if you do it is a very beautiful experience,

I just loved Christy singing and what a lovely lovely human being.RIP CHRISTY.

What a beautiful gentle spiritual soul. I’m so glad to have seen this I’d never heard of him. The memorial sculpture by Nicholas Dimbleby brought me here

Beautiful Soul, 🌹🙏

You truly are a Star Christy! Beautiful film to watch.

RIP Christy a true Irish gentleman
