U2's Bono Busks In Dublin For Charity

Christmas shoppers in Dublin have been treated to an all-star busking session.

U2 frontman Bono was joined by Oscar-winning musician Glen Hansard and singer Sinead O'Connor to raise money for homeless charities.

The stars sang a mixture of festive classics and some of their own hits to large crowds in the city's Grafton Street.

It is the fourth year in a row that Bono and friends have taken to the streets to busk on Christmas Eve.

The best yeckler ever.we went to see bono in concert and suddenly the band fell silent and bono started to clicking his fingers in the microphone, we knew we were about to get one of his mid concert sermons, anyway he said"everytime i click my fingers somebody dies of starvation, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK,CLICK,when somebody shouted from the crowd" WELL STOP CLICKING YOUR FINGERS THEN.it was hilarious and ive never forgotten it.

Score: 5

That I would love to have seen. I like Bono full stop don't care that he gets called a lot, I like him. Sinead has a most lovely voice let's hope she's back on track.
