Sinead & Shane confirmed for Barretstown gig

There’s a cracking line-up on February 27 as the Dublin Academy plays host to a fundraiser for Barretstown House, the activity centre for kids with life-threatening illnesses founded by the late Paul Newman as part of his Hole In The Wall initiative.
Appearing under the ‘Inspirations’ banner, Sinéad O’Connor, Shane MacGowan, Republic Of Loose, Fun Lovin Criminals, The Blizzards, The Walls, Engine Alley and many more will perform songs by their musical heroes (the Stones, Bowie and Dylan are all on the list we hear).
Tickets priced €28 go on sale shortly.
