A fundraising gig to help the injured victims of the Berkeley balcony disaster took place in The Academy last night.
Kodaline, Gavin James (below), Mundy, The Dublin Gospel Choir, Vann Music and Heroes in Hiding along with many others all took to the stage in a show of support for the victims.
Everyone involved, from the artists to the venue, waived their fees so the event could raise as much money as possible.
The injured Berkeley victims who are still over in the US are said to be aware that the gig took place in their honour.

Chloe Smith is one of the organisers behind last night’s event, she went to school with Aoife Beary, one of the injured students.
"I went to school for six years with Aoife and to see her go through something as tragic and as terrible as this is really hard. I wanted to try and help out as much as I could."
All of the money raised will go towards helping with the cost of the injured students medical bills.
If you didn’t get the chance to go along yourself you can still donate by visiting this Go Fund Me page.
