In non-gig fundraising news, Kieran from Delorentos is trying to raise €4,000 for Haven's house building programme in Haiti. He's heading over to Haiti in April for a week of house building, but he needs your help to raise the funds. You can make a donation to Haven under his name by visiting the donation page on the Haven website, filling out the form, then on the next page type in "Kieran" "McGuinness" & "Skerries" "Dublin". Simple, eh?
