Colm Gallagher?

Colm Gallagher?

Anyone know anything about the guy who wrote Reel in the Flickering Light, My Father Loves Nikita Krushchev, Whatever You Say, Say Nothing, and other odd greats?

Christy Moore said in his book that he heard Gallagher play in LA. More recently on his website Moore said that Gallagher has family in Dublin, but he (Christy) has lost track of him.

Just wondering if anyone knows if he's still playing/writing?

I thought Whatever You Say, Say Nothing was by Colum Sands?

Can't be of any help James. I didn't know Christy had his own site, you got a link for it ?

Re: Colm Gallagher?

sneetch -- I think you are right. My apologies to Mr. Sands. (Gallagher's usually on the losing side of mis-credited songwriting, with Tommy Makem and Christy Mooore getting the credit on the web.)
