At the time, the organisers said that they are aiming to “raise much needed funds for Medical Aid Palestine in light of the ongoing horrors of war and genocide being inflicted on civilians in the region.”

Earlier today, Keenan took to his Instagram story to announce: “Almost €4000 raised from this gig was donated to Medical Aid For Palestine thanks to all who showed their support.”

He went on to thank the venue, saying: “Special thanks to Spirit Store for helping to facilitate an inspired gig, a real community event. Proud of everybody involved.”
