On February 27th, the Loose performed at a fundraising concert in aid of Barretstown.
Founded by actor Paul Newman, Barretstown is a specially-designed camp for children with serious illnesses – primarily cancer and serious blood diseases – from Ireland, Britain and throughout Europe, and their families. The camp provides a unique programme of adventure, activities and fun – backed by the medical world – which helps children with serious illness regain their confidence and self-esteem and has become internationally recognised as having a profound and positive impact on their lives.
The idea for the gig was to ask bands to perform tracks by artists that inspired them. The show was recorded and will be available free with this Saturdays Irish Daily Mail.
