Glen Hansard is hosting a sing-along in Dublin this afternoon. It will take place beside Apollo House, which is currently being used to house the homeless.
The complex was taken over by activists last Thursday and is being used to house up to 35 rough sleepers.
Last night Glen tweeted:
"We'll sing a few songs at lunchtime tomorrow our side the Apollo mission! Poolbeg st, 1-2pm tea and a welcome.. Come along! Sing a song.."

Meanwhile, the demolition of Apollo House has been given the go ahead.
Plans for the redevelopment of the building and nearby Hawkins House on Tara Street were lodged in June.
Now Dublin City Council has given the revamp of Apollo House the go ahead after the height of the building was lowered.
The group Home Sweet Home has massive public support however its owners NAMA want those inside to vacate the building.
The council has yet to make a decision on plans for Hawkins House.
