Christy Moore spoke to Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning on their Free State Podcast about the album
Christy Moore has recalled when members of the Garda Special Detective Unit raided a launch for one of his albums.
Moore spoke to All-Ireland winner Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning on their Free State Podcast about the album, which Brolly's father Francie featured on, and the raid by detectives. Asked if he ever thought about "taking a step back" due to the heat his involvement in political issues was bringing on himself, Moore replied: "Not really, no. The special branch raiding the launch of the H Block album gave it really an essential bit of publicity because nobody would have known about it until that happened.
"Matt Molloy played on it, Stephen Ray read two Bobby Sands poems, the late Dan Dowd played pipes on it, Donal Lunny, Mick Hanly, everybody just came on board and we made that album and I'm very proud of that album."
