ænm,Wish I had the time, this article needs serious expansion. A massive, massive player in Irish music for over 30 years.
I agree, he makes me feel my Irishness, a marvelous signer. Transcends Genres, much like Johnny Cash.

I added an expansion template, hopefully someone can fill in the history of this brilliant signer, his career has spanned countless decades. Duey Finster 23:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Stuck a bit more in there, will do more when time allows. Christy is the undisputed king of Irish music. (DMC Jan 18 2006)
I am not certain how to work it in personally, but if someone is doing a big update it would be worth mentioning Declan Sinnot somewhere in the article, he has long been Christy's recording and touring partner and, I believe, deserves a mention in the article - I am pretty sure he played lead/electric guitar on the Ride On album and many of the records after that, but perhaps someone who has access to the CD notes can confirm that and add it - don't wanna add anything to the article I am not certain of!
Countless decades? Really? --Coil00 23:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

It does not seem broken to me, though the site linked to is very badly organised. --Simon Speed 12:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Song Credits
I love this page and am a huge fan but El Salvador was written by Johnny Duhan. Biko Drum was written by Wally Page. Thanks. Badwolf500 18:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
I removed those 2 songs from the list, but instead of just commenting on it in the discussion you could have done this. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit:-)))) --Simon Speed 19:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
They could still go in that section since they are political songs, it was just that it said he wrote them. I'm new to this and don't want to step on anyones toes. Cheers Badwolf500 22:05, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Christy's guitar tuning
Christy always seems to have a capo on the first fret of his guitar, but it sounds in standard tuning - does he tune down a halfstep and just use a capo to bring it back up again? Maybe someone who knows could add this info, I've searched the web and haven't found anything.
