This is one of my all time favorite songs ever. The story goes in 1969, Christy Moore played a gig at a club in St Helier on the island of Jersey. The resident singer at the club was a man originally from Sallynoggin in Dublin called Barney Rushe, and that night he played some songs that he had written, two of which in particular caught Christy’s attention – The Crack Was Ninety and Nancy Spain.
«We hooked up after the gig and we swapped songs late into the night,» Christy recalls. «When I heard him sing Nancy Spain, I was instantly smitten by this beautiful song.»
Rushe promised to send a tape of the songs to Christy, though when he eventually received it he was a member of Planxty and did not get to record his famous version of Nancy Spain until 1976.
Unfortunately Barney passed away a few years back but he has left us some beautiful song
