Of \u2018Black & Amber<\/strong>\u2019, Christy<\/span> Moore<\/span> says: We went to hear A Lazarus Soul in Whelan\u2019s, Dublin 6 years ago. I fell beneath the spell of Briany\u2019s lyrics straight away. I made contact saying I\u2019d love to sing a couple of his songs. He gave me the nod – his lines are just up my street. This song brings me back to a time in life when the pub was a central part of my life. It remained that way for many years. Different pubs in different places became my \u201chome away from home\u201d. Thankfully the day came when I closed that door behind me, never to return, one day at a time. Briany Brannigan\u2019s songs are raw, relevant and real.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Of signing with Claddagh Records<\/strong>, Christy<\/span> Moore<\/span> says: \u201cI was very taken with the Universal approach to two retro albums that came about when they acquired labels that had gone to sleep. When I saw the work they did on the Paddy Kavanagh album, my curiosity peaked. I met the \u201cman from Universal\u201d by chance one day and complimented him on recent releases. He mentioned that he would like to work with me and that Claddagh Records was being revitalised\u2026 and here I am.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
