Say what you like about Limerick (Dolores O’Riordan is from Limerick, so I figure they’re to blame for Zo-om-bay, ay, ay, ay, which directly inspired Umber-ella-ella-ella), but its people have a mighty inclination towards the grand scale when they want something done.
So it is with the plans for Hurt For Haiti, a special day-long benefit taking place on February 21st in various venues on O’Connell Street. There will be street entertainment, lovely grub, local luminaries, and even nice massages and the like, if all the lovely grub gets a bit much. And people with ears will enjoy performances from the likes of Walter Mitty and The Realists, The Funk Junkies, and The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra (Brad Pitt not included).
All proceeds go to the Irish Red Cross.
The ever-tenacious Bock has a big hand in this, so you can head over to his blog for more information and updates on the line-up, or indeed to find out how you can help. You can also email the organisers on [email protected]
If you’re in Limerick on the day in question, you could do a lot worse than allow yourself to be entertained out of a few quid for this very, very good cause.
Sweet!!! I’ll be there, they are some great bands, especially the brad pittl light orchestra
You’re too kind. Thanks for the mention.
Zombie, eh?
