Speaking of Wally Page’s songs Christy Moore was compelled to comment –‘He is one of my favorite singers and I feel I have known him a lifetime. We have done a grand bit of collaborating and he as written good music for some words I have written. He has played fine support for me and I have enjoyed a few good sessions with him.

I am privileged to have received the work of such great writers as Ewan McColl, Jimmy MacCarthy, Wally Page, Pierce Turner, Johnny Mulhearn, Shane McGowan, Johnny Duhan and many, many others. The Writing of a song can be such a very precious act, sometimes laying bare the very essence of a life, and the interpreter carries a big responsibility to the writer. A few times I have inadvertently strayed from the path of the writer’s journey, but as I’ve grown older I’ve understood more’
