LAST YEAR’S TRADITIONAL Christmas Eve busk on Grafton Street had to be shut down early because of overcrowding.

Perhaps that’s why this year’s was planned for a proper stage outside the Gaiety Theatre.

Danny O’Reilly from The Coronas, Hozier and many others joined Glen Hansard and friends to raise money for Home Sweet Home – the organisation that campaigns to end homelessness in Ireland.

Here they are belting out Heyday for a packed audience this evening.

The weather also stayed dry and reasonably mild, thankfully, allowing a large crowd to gather on the pedestrianised street.
