Musicians Pól Brennan of Clannad, Seán Mulrooney, Stephan Murphy and poet-activist Laura Murphy have joined forces to showcase a very special night of music, conversation and art in aid of MSF and their work in Gaza. RISING will take place on 31st March at Whelan's with a live gig including several dazzling artists, a live art fundraiser and much more.

Award-winning composer, lyricist and playwright Daniel Maté will join Seán Mulrooney and Laura Murphy for a scintillating sit-down conversation. Along with his father, Gabor Maté, Daniel co-authored the NYT bestselling book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture. He is also known for his distinctive 'mental chiropractic' practice and, more recently, for his advocacy and support for Palestine.

The incredible line-up also features Palestinian artist Aziz Bushark, Lithuanian music outfit Encoded Voices, as well as Dublin-based musicians Guud Grief  and Fancy Dan.

Vision Éire - a collective of artists, musicians, poets and storytellers - will be creating live art on the night and offering art prints for sale.

Tickets for RISING - on 31st March in Whelan's - start from €19.50 and are available now. All proceeds will go to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, as well as MSF, which proves medical and humanitarian aid in Gaza.
