Bono The Busker (For Charity!)

Heartwarming!

Bono alongside Irish singer-songwriters Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Mundy took their talents to the streets of Dublin on Christmas Eve!

Bono and the gang were busy "busking" (street performers playing for tips) on Grafton St. with all the proceeds going to Simon Community and the homeless.

Watch the street side sing-a-long above!

I'm trying to keep my grasp on the rope, but you have to tie some knots into it, so I can hold on. I need that if this is what you still want.

wow xcalibur, I bet your a really fun person to be around. You sound really nice and pleasant. I think its great these guys would get together and raise a little money to help those less fortunate. What a treat for the audience as well. I'm a huge fan of Damien Rice and would happily give my left leg to hear him play live.

Re: xcalibur – Bono is a no namer? The man is a total legend. I mean, I know he doesn't sing/write epic lyrics like, "gaga o lala" or "she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers" but he's pretty good.
the last sentence was sarcastic, btw.

Re: xcalibur – Glen Hansard is in The Frames one of the biggest bands in Ireland, just cos you're not Irish doesn't mean they're not famous (or don't know anything about music), he also won an Oscar for best song for the film Once, Mundy is an amazing muscian and also very big in Ireland … Ireland a country in Europe by the way in case you haven't heard of that too …

Very cool. That is actually Irish singer songwriter Paddy Casey in the locks playing guitar. He's signed to Bono's MGMT.

There's something so deliciously majestic about Bono that I'm even afraid to render a POSITIVE opinion about him.
