Christy Moore is an Irish folk singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Born on May 7, 1945 in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, he has become a prominent figure in the music industry. With his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, Christy has captivated audiences around the world.
As the brother of Luka Bloom (aka Barry Moore), another talented musician in his own right, Christy's musical influence runs deep within his family. His passion for traditional Irish folk music shines through in every performance.
Inspired by artists such as The Saw Doctors, Paddy Reilly, Paul Brady, and The Dubliners among others, Christy's unique style blends elements of traditional Irish music with contemporary themes. His songs resonate with listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

Prosperous was originally released in 1972, and was the first release on the iconic Irish music label 'Tara Music', which was also home to early Clannad records, Planxty, Moving Hearts and Stockton's Wing amongst many other Irish folk and traditional music artists. The line-up on this classic Christy Moore folk record included Liam O' Flynn, Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny, who later went on to become the revered, Planxty. Prosperous was named after the town and house in County Kildare, Ireland where it was recorded. The house also features on the front cover, where Christy and co. are on the door step. The album has been out of print for nearly 40 years and is remastered from the original master tapes and released on 180 Gram coloured vinyl.
