Glen Hansard amongst acts for special night at Whelan’s

The trio will be joined by some very special, surprise guests which will be revealed on the night.

The purpose of the night is to raise money for Jens Uhl and his wife Cristel. The couple have been responsible for providing Irish artists the opportunity to perform in Eastern Europe over the past few decades.

The money raised will be used to start a bursary in their name. They want to continue to connect Irish musicians with the rest of Europe - an opportunity that would evade many people without them.

The night will be celebrating the work the couple have done previously. They intend on continuing that connection of artists and promotors as a result of the special event they have planned.

Tickets cost €25 and are available from whelanslive.com
