For The Simon Community

It's over ten years since Glen Hansard first took to Grafton Street with an ensemble of well-known musician friends to support and raise money for those in Ireland without a place to call home. 

But this annual Dublin tradition, with Bono usually in the mix, is different this year.

Instead this Friday's broadcast of RTÉ's The Late Late Show is devoted to raising funds for The Simon Community and Bono and Edge are among Ryan Tubridy's guests along with Hozier, Danny O'Reilly, Róisín O, Declan O'Rourke and Kodaline's Steve Garrigan.

Imelda May joins from London for a very special performance of 'On Raglan Road', with John Sheahan, Finbar Furey, Lisa O'Neill, Hansard and Shane MacGowan joining in from The Late Late Show studio.

Host Ryan Tubridy said: "This will certainly be a night to remember with the best of Irish talent in one room coming together for some incredible performances.”

The Late Late Show Busk for Simon, RTÉ One Friday, 18th December at 9.35pm.
