For the eighth year Glen busks in Grafton Street to raise money for homeless charities Peter McVerry Trust and Simon Community. He is joined at various times throughout the evening by Mark Geary, Matthew Devereux, Paddy Sherlock, Eoin Glackin, Mundy, Hozier, Danny O’Reilly, Gavin James, Roisin O, Hudson Taylor, Una O’Kane, Katie O’Connor, Paula Hughes, Courtney Lavender, Gabrielle Aplin, Stephen James Smith, Luke Clerkin, Phil Aherne, Escuchando Elefantes, and many more. The busk is cut short due to concerns from the police as Glen announces: “I hope that you can understand that we are in a delicate position with the law – a lot of us up here – and we need to do the right thing. We’re either going to have to move this or we’ll end it and we’ll call it in good grace. Thanks a lot for coming, and thanks a lot for giving your support.”
