LAST YEAR’S TRADITIONAL Christmas Eve busk on Grafton Street had to be shut down early because of overcrowding.
Perhaps that’s why this year’s was planned for a proper stage outside the Gaiety Theatre.
Danny O’Reilly from The Coronas, Hozier and many others joined Glen Hansard and friends to raise money for Home Sweet Home – the organisation that campaigns to end homelessness in Ireland.
Here they are belting out Heyday for a packed audience this evening

The atmosphere on the ground seemed special – and the crowd were really getting into the performances
Given this year’s particular focus on the homelessness epidemic rising in Ireland, the scenes were heartening
Well done, everyone.
