ARTISTS AMPLIFY UKRAINE
Artists Amplify Ukraine started as a fundraiser gig to help children affected by war. That event is taking place in Dublin on Saturday 16th April and has a stellar line-up of artists:
Elaine Mai & Friends
49th & Main
Daithí
Enola Gay
Nealo
Rebel Phoenix
Farah Elle
Fia Moon
Vale
Tickets are €21.50 available from tickets.ie here
A lot of people expressed a desire to donate to the fundraiser but are unable to make it to the event, so we've set up this fundraising page to help us reach our goal of €10,000 for UNICEF Ireland, to be distributed as they see fit to help children affected by war in Ukraine and other countries. All donations here will go directly to UNICEF Ireland.
Over 400 million children live in countries affected by violent conflict; many are forcibly displaced, sometimes orphaned and unaccompanied, in search of safety. Children are especially vulnerable to abuse, exploitation and trafficking during emergencies and armed conflicts [source: UNICEF.ie]. Find out more about what UNICEF Ireland does here .
Sometimes, it can be hard to know how to help when we see what's going on in the world; raising the kind of money needed to make a difference can seem insurmountable. As a small business owner, unfortunately I don't have the capacity to make a large donation alone; what I do have are links to some of Ireland's brightest and best talent as well as great industry connections - and that is extremely valuable.
Within 24 hours of suggesting the idea for this fundraiser to some music friends and industry contacts, we had a full line-up of artists agreeing to waive performance fees; the venue had donated the room for free; illustrator Aaron Fahy had agreed to design the poster free of charge; Dublin Shirt Co. had come on board to offer t-shirts at cost; and Tickets.ie had reduced their booking fee by 50%.
People working in the music and entertainment sector have been hit incredibly hard over the past two years - and they all deserves to be paid for every second of their time - so to have everyone involved offering their talent, services and time free of charge in order to help children affected by war is such a generous act and is testament to the people that make up our arts and music communities here in Ireland.
Thank you to...
