Robbie Williams O2 gig raises over €300,000

Proceeds from Dublin date go to UNICEF Ireland and Childline...

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Sep 2012

Along with thrilling lucky fans with songs from his twenty year long musical career, Robbie Williams raised an impressive €324,877.87 for Irish charities UNICEF and Childline following his recent Dublin gig.

For the concert, which took place on September 14, neither the promoters or Robbie received any payment. Besides minimal venue costs being covered by ticket revenue, the vast majority of ticket sales went to the two chosen charities.

While in the city for the charity gig the Take That man also launched his new clothing line Farrell in Brown Thomas. Decide for yourself about the pop icon's fashion expertise in his new video for single 'Candy' which features Robbie rocking a salmon pink ensemble...

2006-10-27 - REVIEW

A spirited take on an old Lewis Taylor soul record, spiking it up with some funky electro touches. Still, can’t help but feel that performing cover versions minimises Robbie’s impact; he is a personality first, musician second (which is why his gigs have always been better than his records) – if I can’t scrutinise the lyrics for salacious titbits on his latest personal dramas, I’m less inclined to pay attention.

Album number three for the man who would be pop king finds Robbie Williams in increasingly contemplative mood. Which isn’t all that surprising, as anyone who has been observing him of late would agree.
