Bono & Co busk on Grafton St

Christmas came early for some revellers last night as Bono, Glen Hansard, Damien Rice and Mundy came together to for a memorable busk on Grafton St.

The performance, which lasted approximately one hour, was watched by a handful of lucky passers-by.

Over the course of the performance they went through some well-known covers like 'Knocking On Heaven's Door', 'Stand By Me' and Mic Christopher's 'Heyday'.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

Rating 4

As is the nature with albums as diverse as this in style and contributors, 'Plastic Beach' can be patchy in parts, but the sheer versatility and depth of this sprawling work are its saviours.
