Christy Moore is an accomplished Irish folk singer, songwriter and guitarist. I discovered Christy Moore during my time in the UK and had since purchased a couple of his CDs. A Twitter / Facebook buddy reminded me this week I had the CDs. I’d not listened to them for a bit, so I pulled them out and have now been enjoying them whilst I work! The ‘Night Visit’ is one of my favourites.
The town of Kilkenny is in County Kilkenny in the south/east region of Ireland. It’s most well known for three historic landmarks. The 13th century Cathedral of St Canice, the Round Tower both of which the town orginated around and the third landmark, the dominating and beautiful Kilkenny Castle.
Kilkenny has managed to retain much of its medieval flavour. Strict redevelopment guidelines, ensuring the shop and business facade’s are not modernised to the point that they lose their original, historic charm. Kilkenny is also considered the art and craft capital of Ireland with a rich array of arts and crafts available in many of the town’s shops.
This is an excellent and much reviewed Guide Book should you be planning a trip to Ireland.
