How uplifting and moving was this? God I wish I had been there. It shows what good, man can do and how they can be brought together with music. Stunning
The pinnacle of Irish music is right there, its clear to say why aswell. No other artist from any other country would give up their Christmas eve to go busking in the middle of Dublin city. Gotta love this shit.. Éirinn go bréa
Nice to see the old faces appear again for the 2nd year. Looks like the Coronas and Liam of the Hothouse Flowers are the newcomers. Who was it that sang the 2nd verse?
@kenpodub32 Glen, via social media, announced his intention to busk and raise money for a charity cause and invited others to join him for the first time just before Christmas Eve in 2009. The turn out was amazing. He repeated it again last Christmas with what appeared to be an even greater turn out. We can only hope this will be year 3 of a most wonderful communal event!
@kenpodub32 No I can't say I do. It's daylight though. Send a message to the person who posted the clip as they were there and would know. If he busks again this year and you go I hope you'll share the moment/s with us. :)

This is great support of raising the awareness of homeless people. The money raised at this was for Peter McVerry Trust. Great charity
