Irish folk icon Christy Moore is certainly going to be busy over the festive season. In promotion of his new album Folk Tale, the Planxty and Moving Hearts man has just announced a couple of additions to his jam-packed live schedule.

Moore is already set to play six sold-out shows in Vicar Street and the Grand Canal Theatre, and will now take to the Vicar Street stage one more time on Sunday December 18 for a benefit concert in aid of Focus Ireland and Trust Ireland.

On top of that, he has added a Grand Canal Theatre date – you can see him on Friday January 13.

Tickets are priced at €39.50, €45.00, €49.50 and go on sale Wednesday December 7 at 9am from [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link] and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.
