Christy Moore & Declan Sinnott ride on to Roscommon

Irish folk legend Christy Moore is already set to play with longtime collaborator (and fellow one-time Moving Heart) Declan Sinnott in Tullamore and Kilkenny this summer. Fresh from winning Best Irish Male Singer at the Meteor Awards 2010, an extra September date has been added.

Moore, ably accompanied by Sinnott, will play the Douglas Hyde Centre in Roscommon on Friday September 17. Tickets are €40 and go on sale Thursday June 1.

Tickets for their shows at Tullamore Court Hotel on Thursday June 17 and The Hub, Kilkenny, on Friday July 9 are on sale now.

We can see the impassioned beads of sweat on stage already.
