For World Refugee Day: Hilary Bow & Liam O'Maonlaí share 'Don't See Any Lines'
Two Irish musicians are raising funds for a vital organisation, set up in the wake of the Direct Provision protests.
For World Refugee Day, Irish musician Hilary Bow has written a song which addresses the refugee crisis. She looks past the news headlines and geopolitics surrounding the issues to what's really at stake - human lives, and the humanity of ordinary people.
Speaking about the song, Hilary Bow said: "I'm releasing 'Don't See Any Lines' to, at least, raise awareness of and ideally raise funds for M.A.S.I. – Movement of Asylum Seekers Ireland, a grassroots organisation that grew out of the 2014 Direct Provision protests. I wrote it, sing it, and Liam O'Maonlaí plays and sings on it also."
You'll be able to hear 'Don't See Any Lines' on the airwaves from today, and you can also download Hilary and Liam's song here.
All proceeds from the song will go towards M.A.S.I.
