 I'm down in Wielands on Westfield Street for the annual Kraken Up event in aid of the DCU Mental Health Society. I caught up with some of the committee members and fans to see what they had to say about the event. And this is the period at Kraken Up. Kraken Up is a concert that's put on by the Mental Health Society here in DCU. It's held in Wielands every year so we've had acts like the Kronos, David Keenan, the Young Folk, Owen Schneider and loads and loads more. It's been a really successful last couple of years. We're fundraising for Jigsaw. Jigsaw is a organisation that focuses on the youth's mental health. It's the one that's very close to many hearts on the committee and so we're really excited to be able to donate 100% of all proceeds that are raised to the charity tonight. Supporting the charity event were musicians Joel Erkins, Eve Bell, Flat Out and poet and DCU alumni James O'Connor along with Oshino Hanlon as MC. Well I was part of the Mental Health Society years ago when it first started. I was on the first committee and I became the first mentor manager for the hub and I just think it's a really great cause and I'd love to come back every chance I get to help the committee out and to help with these big events. I was involved in the first Kraken Up so I would have loved to come back and see what it has evolved into. As I failed to pull myself together and was wrapped around me and hold me to the top head. I was performing this evening and yeah now I was really happy to get involved because Jigsaw do absolutely fantastic work like they're really important like focusing on youth mental health in Ireland is like it should be a way bigger issue than it is. It should be a lot more effort going into rectifying a lot of issues that we have and Jigsaw are doing amazing work towards that and yeah so I was delighted to get involved and see what it's for I'm excited yeah no loads of people come and there's loads of brilliant acts that'll be playing and I'm just just all around excited for it. These are amazing so they're they're very good so they're the atmosphere is so good. I'm having a great night and it's going very very well feeling very mentally sound and fantastic. Mental health stock in DCU is unreal and I feel like they deserve all the support in the world so I wanted to come and support them because they're all great people working for something very good because that turned sex last week.
