New single from Damien Dempsey and Glen Hansard

Two of Irish music's current shining stars have teamed up to release a single for a very worthy cause. Damien Dempsey and Glen Hansard release 'The Aukld Triangle' on December 3, to raise awareness and much needed funds for the Society of St. Vincent De Paul.

The single will be available to buy from usual music outlets and as a download on iTunes, featuring three tracks:

1. The Auld Triangle
2. Raglan Road
3. Not on Your Own Tonight (Part 2)

‘The Auld Triangle’ and ‘Raglan Road’ were recorded by Karl Odlum and mixed by John Reynolds in November 2010.  ‘Not On Your Own Tonight’ is taken from Dempsey’s album ‘To Hell Or Barbados’, (Expanded Edition). 

Of 'The Auld Triangle, the duo have said, "We recorded this song to highlight and raise funds for the work of Society of St. Vincent de Paul  which includes offering help to the many households each day in Ireland who are having difficulty keeping the lights on. You can help...”  

The single artwork comes from long-time Hot Press cohorts, the brilliant Eyebrowy.
