With our national day approaching and our country in a mess with nearly a half a million unemployed is it worth asking the question...
SHOULD THERE BE ANOTHER SELF AID?
If there was another self aid this year who would you want to see and where should it take place?
Self Aid was a benefit concert held in Dublin, Ireland on 17 May 1986. The purpose of the concert was to highlight the chronic unemployment problem in Ireland at the time, with nearly 250,000 people unemployed. The 14 hour concert was the largest that had ever been staged in Ireland. All of the musicians below donated their time free of charge.
Auto Da Fe
Bagatelle
Big Self
Blue in Heaven
The Boomtown Rats
Paul Brady
Chris de Burgh
Cactus World News
The Chieftains
Clannad
De Danann
Rory Gallagher
