The Busk, an all-star charity live album recorded in St Patrick's Cathedral, has officially launched on vinyl in aid of the Dublin Simon Community.
Recorded over two nights last December, the Busk gigs saw Bono, The Frames, Damien Rice, Lisa O'Neill and more teaming up to help the Dublin Simon Community.

The album, which is available to purchase online and in-store from Golden Discs from today, is priced €27.95, with all proceeds going to the charity.
"We are putting everything we can into moving people out of homelessness and keeping them in their homes where they belong, but we need all the help we can get," said Dublin Simon Community CEO Catherine Kenny.
"The sales of this record will fund the continuation of our services and serve as a glimmer of hope to the over 6,000 people relying on our help."
Today also sees a half day takeover of the Dublin Simon Community shop at 57 Lower Camden Street as part of Busk Record Store Day.
