LENO: Really

I woke up one morning in the place in Queens in New York and a letter was lying on the ground and from in the letterbox and I picked it up when it was suddenly Emma Flynn the piper and he said look Christy Moore is just planning to leave the band in a few months and we would like you to join the band and at this stage I immediately wanted to do it because I had been trying to get out of the situation I was in for weeks but I didn't even have enough money to get an air ticket back so I had to go working in a guitar school out in Long Island for a couple of weeks to get the airfare home but you know I mean it's it's a fond memory of Paul said yes that way that was a great lift to the band because it was kind of sinking fast at that time would the first meeting I think we had on your return to Ireland was in one chronic trauma yeah and he came to Cromwell because that's where planks he was playing and he came to the gig and then later in the in the pub he took out the guitar and he played or Arthur McBride and we were all blown away as everybody being ever since was that the first time you'd heard him yeah or heard that I said would was the first time I'd heard him doing what was his thing at that time because before that he'd in the Johnston's he was I mostly sang harmony Johnson's and I took a sort of a background see he wasn't it so he wasn't anyway soloists in Hanson's but I had some cheek you know I mean coming back sitting in and then singing Arthur McBride which was one of your songs on the recent planks the album and I had a totally different version of it which was a sort of a solo guitar arrangement and it was my it was my party piece at the time so I had to sing earth you had to I think you apologized to me before you sang it today I'm sure you do which attraction did you prefer Andy the one you done or oh I never compared the two I mean I still do i I have a different arrangement of it but I still do the one that I did with with blanks tea and I wouldn't compare the two you know it's like they're coming from totally different places like also individuals very different people did you have good times in plank state I mean you were hugely successful were you aware of that at the time how successful were we by the time you joined the band I mean we had we weren't I joined the bar that that was it it was really successful from the very beginning but that's success if you look back it and I could at it and you're quite frank that success didn't really last more than eighteen months what I feel about it is this I feel that you're you had your major success in Ireland before I joined a band undoubtedly but I feel that the period that I was in the band but a year and a half was when the band was consolidated in places like Europe absolutely Holland and England yes we did we played a lot more in England Europe I'd like to feel a brother for something to didn't just bury before you got into the two of you together why did you break up and flying to you how did that happen well I think we were just tired of it you know I mean clanks he toured all the time you know that white van was always outside the door yeah and somebody nothing on it saying and there was never any right and there was never any real solid structure there like managerial fiscal budget rate or anything like that it was just chaos and what it was like didn't Liam describe it as four people on the train throwing my jumper said to Paul you said to him I'm leaving this job no I tell you what I tell you what did happen Liam called a meeting and we all knew what it was going to be yeah and we went to the meeting in Belmont Avenue in Donnybrook Des Kelly our manager's office and there was a bit of kind of humming and harming and laughing how are you doing and eventually the meeting was called to order and Liam said well he said I'd like to leave the band and we all as a as a man said we went down to Madigan's and we had a few drinks to bury the band I mean luckily we didn't reform it before closing time of the joke but the folk singer who won the lottery and he was asked what he's going to do he said well I keep all gonna keep on gigging till the money's all gone so it was it was it was definitely a group decision but mad I was less yeah we had a lot of fun it was mad fun but it was great but you two obviously did get on well because then you went and played together for another few years which is when you did this iconic album yeah well but we felt very compatible musically yeah and I was always interested in Andy's music I mean Andy's music particularly the music he brought back from Eastern Europe on his travels I was always very interested in that and wanted to know what that was about because I'd never played that kind of music for you spoken about those years being kind of glorious years or shiny years I mean was it during the time with Andy maybe but you got your own confidence to believe you could be a performer in your own right all by yourself yeah fundamentally yeah I mean I think that was the period I mean I mean the final days in plank state and the whole period with Andy where when I came out from the shadows really and decided I wanted to be a solo performer you know yeah I think that's absolutely right because at the end of planks even when we formed a duo it was mainly my songs you didn't you didn't have an awful lot of material yeah and gradually as as he got the lakes Of Pontchartrain and Mary and the soldier and all these things I'm and we began to kind of equal yeah in terms of materials Paul's confidence rose tremendously when I found my voice and and when I stood up and when I started to be able to perform with the guitar and sing songs and see a reaction coming back and people going here you know it gave me strength and it give me belief in myself and you know Gerry Rafferty came along with an album called city to city and the song Baker Street which is a huge iconic hit ever since and I suddenly felt I want to do that I mean I don't want to be Gerry Rafferty but I certainly want to pull off that an entire cocoon whatever it is I'm in and I want to find if there's somebody else in here and really that was the impetus that made me start to write songs in 1979-1980 and eventually I started to find I could write songs and I could also express parts of myself that I wanted to express through my own songs then I made the decision to break from folk music because in a way there was no way you could the two things could be done together I've never had to make a complete break and leave into a whole different sense of who I was was like walking into a different room inside myself that I hadn't realized was there and suddenly finding all these toys there that I wanted to play with and I lost interest in the room I'd been in for the pre this decade because I was so excited but what I was finding here and that basically was the shape of my life for the next couple of decades but you never had the desire to do what he did which is strip back whatever you were and do lots of other things no I've been happy and I still am happy with traditional songs which which have a great emotion in the manner I I don't think it can be surpassed I also write I write a lot of songs I have to say that the shape that you're in is is much more multi-dimensional than almost anybody I know I mean you don't need to go anywhere else because there's so much goes on it's a large room it isn't there's lots of toys we're going to take the first piece of music and the lovely thing is you have brought your instruments and you're going to play this live for me tell me about it it's the plains of Kildare yes it's one of the one of the first songs I think that we got together I'd kind of worked out the basics I knew what I was doing and we were rehearsing with Donald and the two of them were were working out what they were going to play on it and it was it was wonderful to behold as an observer the two of them creating this accompaniment I do yeah learning that stuff was magical you know do you still like playing it personally I would rather play it more often I mean it's such complex music this when I look back and and sit here recordings and see stuff from YouTube of us playing those tunes like you know as young man we were flying all over yeah it's it's it's you have to really work hard at it no tell me before you play it why it's complicated it's influenced a lot by the music that Andy loved and Bulgaria Romania just which is like very complex time signatures every note is in its place the plains of Qatar you go over there come on Yvonne sportsmen and listen to my story that was fantastic data bars complicated you still enjoy pain oh yeah well yes do you think you might have to do another album to me well I'm probably the one who's more likely to push for that I think it would be a great idea I would do it in the morning if I had if I had enough material if I had a bunch of five songs now that I was really well me I'm Henry check out some huh well I actually have two or three but yes if I had enough material I'd be very happy to do it me too me too tell me about your own background Andy because I hear an English voice where were you born well I was born in London I didn't stay there too long I was farmed out to boarding school at the age of three and a half three and a half yeah well so they say I mean I have very little memory of it because I think I think it caused a traumatic beginning to my life because surprised both my parents are quite long dead now so I have no way of actually finding out but my mother had been an actress before the war and that could be one factor that she she was the kind of woman who needed to be the center of attraction all the time I mean she gave up the stage but she never gave up acting that might have been one factor another factor might have you know that my mother my father loved her very much in a possessive way and I think that he didn't really care for me very much well it's not meant to be because it's all a long time ago and I was long since got over it well it was the war you know yeah did you have brothers and sisters I had a half-sister 10 years older than me so basically it was only true and how did you end land up in Ireland I was I was an actor I was a child actor and I I when I was about 18 I got a job on the B.B.C
