The National Children’s Hospital is set to benefit from the release of Even Better Than The Real Thing Vol. 2, a 13-track collection of covers originally broadcast on Today FM’s Ray D’Arcy Show.

The full line-up is: Juliet Turner ‘Toxic’, BellX1 ‘Like I Love You’/’Slow’, Vyvienne Long ‘Seven Nation Army’, Glen Hansard & Colm MacConiomaire ‘Everytime’, The Walls ‘These Words’, Paddy Casey ‘Grandma’s Hand’/’No Diggity’ & ‘Saints & Sinners’, Brian Kennedy ‘Dry Your Eyes’, Roesy ‘Naughty Girl’, Mickey Harte ‘I Don’t Want You Back’, Ann Blake ‘Hole In The Head’, Bic Runga ‘Sway’, Declan O’Rourke & Josh Johnson ‘See It In A Boy’s Eyes’ and The Bogmen ‘Hey Ya’.

All proceeds from record sales will be donated to the National Children’s Hospital Tallaght and Barretstow, with last year's compilation raising in excess of €170,000.
