GLEN HANSARD WAS back on Grafton Street today, busking to raise money for the Simon Community, and he was joined by U2 frontman Bono this evening.
This has been a tradition for Hansard the last number of years, with Bono joining in on few occasions.
Despite the rain and the cold winds, a festive crowd gathered to listen to the former The Frames musician who was in fine form early-on.
He urged those listening in to “dig in and keep a few people off the street”.

Later Bono arrived for a festive tune and without microphones he had to work those vocal chords hard:
