For more than 50 years, Christy Moore’s music has helped tell the story of Ireland — the good and bad, the triumphs and hardships.
ITMA is delighted to announce that ‘Cartlann Christy Moore’, its newest documentary financed by TG4, will air this New Year’s Eve at 22:10 on TG4.
After turning 80, Christy Moore has donated his entire personal collection to ITMA. This collection contains a vast store of rare manuscripts, recordings, letters, setlists and unseen lyrics that opens a window into a creative spirit and social conscience that has shaped generations.
Cartlann Christy Moore uses these collections to explore the life and music of Christy at a level never captured before. Directed by Ciarán Ó Maonaigh, the film features new interviews and recordings of Christy, along with contributions from some of Ireland’s best-known artists.

Ciarán and I were away for 6 days. So our Frankie asked to go for a ‘celebration day’ cause we’re all back together again 🥹 specifically to go into town for treats and the Lego shop 🫶 Great to be away playing/dancing, great to get home again ❤️Days like these❤️ @cmoondl
Bhí sé ina phribléid ceol a sheinm don Uachtaráin Catherine Connolly in Áras an Uachtaráin le gairid. Ciarán and I were SO honoured to play/dance for our wonderful Úacharáin Catherine Connolly recently, in éineacht le @ancheadghluineile agus @miseciara@presidentirl
Thanks to the 200,000 people in Ireland who tuned into Cartlann Christy Moore New Year’s Eve on TG4 and all others who’ve engaged with the documentary so far. If you haven’t had the chance to watch it yet, the film can be streamed for free worldwide on the TG4 player at the link in our bio.
