Damien Rice, Conor O’Brien, Paddy Casey and Declan O’Rourke. What a line-up.

Vicar Street was the place to be last night for music lovers as Glen Hansard once again performed his annual gig in aid of the Simon Community and the Peter McVerry Trust.

While The Frames frontman has an incredible back catalogue of songs, a four-hour set was beyond even his talents so he managed to get a few friends to tag along.

Lucky for those who went along to the gig, those friends happened to include the very talented Damien Rice, Conor O’Brien and Paddy Casey, who all took to the stage during a cracking evening’s entertainment.

Here are some of the tunes audience members were treated to on the night…
