We’re delighted to be one of the charities supported at Gibney’s 24-Hour Charity Seisiún - a brilliant celebration of Irish music, culture and community, all in support of Irish Youth Foundation UK and Refugee Action.

From 9pm on Saturday 29 August until 9pm on Sunday 30 August musicians will come together at Gibney’s in Old Street for a non-stop music seisiún!

And there’s even more to celebrate...Gibney’s will donate £1 from every drink sold on 29 & 30 August, with the proceeds split equally between both charities.

A huge thank you to the team at Gibney’s, all the musicians taking part and everyone helping to make this incredible fundraiser happen.
