Peter Eades, Aine Lawlor & Sadhbh O'Kelly

RTÉ star Aine Lawlor and leading cancer specialist Prof John Crown were among those who launched a unique fundraising campaign for cancer research in Dublin this morning.

Passengers coming and going through Pearse Street Dart Station were treated to a musical extravaganza as the station came alive to the sound of song!  Performers from different traditions, including young fiddlers from Comhaltas and Harbour Ukeles, gathered around Peter Eades on piano, Morgan Redmond on guitar and sang and danced their hearts out in an appeal to choirs, groups and friends all around Ireland to put on singing performances over the weekend of 4th February to mark UN designated World Cancer Day. The money raised will go to the Caroline Foundation for Cancer Research.
