Paddy Casey and more for Simon's charity gig

'The Longest Night' takes place in the Button Factory on December 21 – the shortest day of the year, making it a long night for those sleeping on the streets of Dublin.

The gig features Paddy Casey and a special guest to be announced, with support from the Guggenheim Grotto, Heathers and The Mighty Stef. Comedian Damien Clarke will also be on hand to take care of MC duties.

And the Button Factory show is just part of 'The Longest Night' events, with a 24-hour carol-a-thon planned for Grafton St. the same day.

Tickets are on sale no for €25, with a special €100 VIP package available for the more generous among you, offering a drinks reception, private seated VIP area and more.
