If you have to have a gig the day after a Clapton gig then I guess something acoustic and gentle like Christy Moore is a pretty good option. Because of its proximity to the Clapton gig and the similarity of the gig to the previous Christy Moore gig I saw, I am struggling a bit to remember which specific tracks he played. It's also because I am not particularly familiar with his back catalogue having only a recent live recording in my collection.
I do remember his beautiful song "North and South" and also "Ride On" and a track that I hadn't heard before called "Does this train stop on Merseyside?".
As the last time I saw him this was an acoustic gig with accompaniment from Declan Sinnnot. I thought Declan was better this time more confident and assertive in his playing. Christy's banter was slightly more ascerbic this time but he still comes across as the nicest guy you've ever seen and his singing is beautiful and all done in that mellifluous Irish brogue.
