Legendary singer/songwriter Christy Moore made a brilliant gesture at his concert in Armagh last night. The folk legend invited a young fan to sing his classic 'Nancy Spain'.

Míceál Barrett accepted and stood up on stage along with Christy and started singing. Fitted with a mic, he didn't seem to be star-struck performing with his hero and delivered all the lines perfectly.

Dream Come True

He left receiving a round of applause that was deserving off his performance. Replying to the video on twitter, Míceál's mum revealed that her son has been a fan of the Irish songwriter for ages. She also revealed that Christy replied to every single one of his young fan's letters.  He got given tickets to the gig as a birthday present and it's fair to say that it was well worth it. Christy was kind enough to gift Míceál his guitar pick.
