Bono, Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer team up for charity

Bono, Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer have combined their talents to help raise money for the Irish Hospice Foundation.

The Friday-Seezer Ensemble, as they are affectionately known, recorded a modern version of the classic children’s tale Peter And The Wolf, incorporating the mandolin, accordion and banjo. The recording is to be presented alongside a 64-page clothbound book featuring illustrations by U2’s Bono, and his daughters Eve and Jordan.

The 16 illustrations will form a touring exhibition, which calls at City Hall, Dublin, from October 1-3; Christie’s, King St., London, from October 6-8; Christie’s, Los Angeles, from October 13-15 and Christies, Rockefeller Plaza, New York, from November 20-21.
