Christy Moore (b. 1945), an Irish folk singer, have come to be considered traditional rebel music in Ireland in the aftermath of the Troubles. As a general argument, I make the point that Moore\u2019s music has come to be considered traditional because of his lyrical references to events in Irish history and other traditional songs, use of traditional instruments like bodhr\u00e1ns, performances at political demonstrations for nationalist and other Leftist causes, and radio bans, which supported nationalist narratives of oppression and increased his visibility in republican circles.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8d94f54 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8d94f54\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3b27ee56\" data-id=\"3b27ee56\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27c11b74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"27c11b74\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-6661\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-6661\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">About Mollie<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-6661\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-6661\"><p><b>What is your major and expected year of graduation?<\/b><\/p><p>I majored in history and will graduate in May 2025.\u00a0<\/p><p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">What inspired you to pursue your project?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>Throughout my time at Temple University, I have researched the connection between music and various social and political movements. I became interested in researching Christy Moore and Irish rebel music, specifically, after taking a class on political violence, and developed the project with the help of Dr. Glasson, Dr. Motyl, and Dr. Ryan of the history department.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p><b style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;font-size: var(--typography_size_html);background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">How did the Libraries support your research?<\/b><\/p><p>From the time I began the research process for this project, Temple Libraries has served as an incredible resource for accessing physical and digital materials. With the help of library staff including Rebecca Lloyd and Brian Boling, I was able to utilize relevant books found at Charles Library and beyond through the interlibrary loan system, as well as digital archival resources like ProQuest&#8217;s Historical Newspapers database. However, even past experiences doing research at the Special Collections Research Center enabled me to move comfortably in physical and digital archival spaces, which allowed me to complete this project.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-31ccd985 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"31ccd985\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29924c60\" data-id=\"29924c60\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c914a17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6c914a17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1821\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1821\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From Mollie's faculty advisor<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1821\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1821\"><p>Christy Moore, the subject of Mollie Naessens\u2019 prize-winning paper, is an icon of twentieth-century Irish music.&nbsp; Mixing Ireland\u2019s deep musical traditions, contemporary pop, and the sensibilities of the folk singer-songwriter, Moore has produced a career\u2019s worth of politically engaged material that marks him as a distinctive voice in Irish culture.&nbsp; Mollie Naessens brought a knowledgeable appreciation of Moore\u2019s music to the History Honors Thesis program in which she wrote her prize-winning paper, and built on that through careful, creative, and deep research in an array of Irish and English sources.&nbsp; This research \u2013 and all of the determined work it takes to find such materials from here in Philadelphia \u2013 enabled Naessens to relate not only the arc of Moore\u2019s career, but to analyze his place in the cultural history of \u201cthe Troubles,\u201d the long-running conflict over the political status and future of Northern Ireland in relation to the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.&nbsp; Skillfully weaving together analyses of Moore\u2019s lyrics, Ireland\u2019s complex political history, and an array of journalistic and other accounts of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, Naessens wrote a paper that adeptly examines Moore\u2019s prominent and sometimes controversial place in his own times and his connections to much older traditions of Irish politics and culture.&nbsp;
