A gorgeous rendition of a magnificent song.

This week's episode of The Late Late Show was a special music edition, with some of Ireland's biggest artists taking part. It attempted to bring the magic of the traditional Christmas Eve Grafton Street busk directly into viewer's homes in aid of the Simon Community. Well over €1.2 million was raised for the charity, with the Simon Community thanking everyone involved. Shane MacGowan, John Sheahan, Glen Hansard, Lisa O'Neill and Finbar Furey all sang a lovely rendition of 'Raglan Road' on the show, which was a particular highlight of the episode. Rock legends Bono and The Edge performed the songs 'Walk On' and 'Baby Please Come Home', while Bono himself talked about his support of the frontline workers. Hozier also appeared on the show to talk about the generosity of Irish people: Clips via The Late Late Show
