Moya Brennan, Irish and Haitian stars to support Haiti
Moya Brennan will take part in a very special event in New York to support the Haitian people after the devastating earthquake that hit the densely populated nation. Joining Moya are Ashley Davis (whose new album was recorded in Moya’s home), Academy Award-nominated director and writer Terry George, Black 47, Jameson’s Revenge, Creole Jazz band Mozjaik, Clay Ross & Matuto, Seanchaí and Unity Squad, as well as a Haitian band Brother High Kanaval. Readers will include National Book Award winner Colum McCann, the amazing Amy Goodman of Democracy Now, Malachy McCourt, T.J. English, Michael Patrick MacDonald and others.
The event, called “Relief for Haiti: Island People Supporting Island People” will take place on Wednesday, February 24th (7:00 pm sharp) at Klub 45, the music venue above Connolly’s Pub on West 45th Street near New York’s Times Square.
Proceeds from the event will support the Haitian relief efforts of Concern Worldwide, the international humanitarian relief agency that was founded in Ireland 41 years ago.
