Christy has retired from the crushing touring schedule he used to inflict on himself, but every so often he feels like performing in a small venue. These gigs are never advertised, but they?re always sold out within ten minutes of the word hitting the street. The music on this album is typical of such a performance ? it was recorded in Vicar Street, the best music venue in Dublin. He?s joined by Donal Lunny on vocals, guitar, keyboards and bodhr?n, and Declan Sinnott on vocals and guitars. The recording manages to retain the strong sense of intimacy that prevails at these gigs, where most of the audience are known to Christy personally.
