Legendary singer songwriter Christy Moore releases his first album of new material since 2019’s Flying Into Mystery. Named for the Martin Gale painting that graces its cover, A Terrible Beauty will find widespread release through the legendary Claddagh Records, and was preceded by a single interpreting Black & Amber by Irish rock veterans, A Lazarus Soul.
On working with the revitalised Claddagh Records, Moore said “I was very taken with the Universal approach to two retro albums that came about when they acquired labels that had gone to sleep. When I saw the work they did on the Paddy Kavanagh album, my curiosity peaked.
I met the “man from Universal” by chance one day and complimented him on recent releases. He mentioned that he would like to work with me and that Claddagh Records was being revitalised… and here I am.”
