We’re celebrating Christy Moore’s 75th birthday today with a series of posts appreciating the undeniable Irish folk icon. Digging into the Hot Press photo archive we found some black & white snaps of the beloved Kildare songwriter during interviews, awards ceremonies, photoshoots and his favorite environment: live shows.

Here’s to Moore and all those unforgettable nights when he puts his heart and soul into consecutive sold out gigs that hopefully we’ll have back soon. Lá breithe!
