King Puck: An Autobiography

Ireland's leading folk singer, Christy Moore is mentor to a whole generation of Irish musicians - Bono, Elvis Costello and The Pogues among them. Former singer with Planxty and Moving Hearts, Moore embarked on a solo career in 1982, since when he has made 13 albums and toured extensively in Europe, America and Australia. Last year, he played 34 concerts in the UK alone. As his songs show he is also an inspired storyteller. Honest, witty, warm and direct, this long-awaited autobiography charts his life from the drunk to sober, fervent republican to political moderate, bar-room guitarist to international singer.
