RTÉ to repeat Christie Hennessy documentary

RTÉ has announced plans to repeat its documentary on the life of Christie Hennessy "due to the overwhelming response."

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 Jul 2008

The film will be shown on Monday August 4 at 6:30pm on RTÉ 1. The Tralee singer-songwriter died last December following a short illness.

Duets CD The Two Of Us and full-length documentary DVD The Messenger Boy have both enjoyed lengthy chart successes of late.

I HAVE to say that I have always loved Christie Hennessy’s material. Perhaps more than any songwriter working today, his stuff is the real deal, with no attempt at artifice or concealment. But that is not to say that his songs are not insightful, for he deals with a wide range of issues in his material, from loneliness to mental illness, and always with a sensitive hand.
