My best gig ever: New book asked people to recall their favourite concert

A new book in aid of an Irish charity asked people to recall their favourite concert, writes Don O’Mahony.

As they watched the horror of the Syrian refugee crisis unfold, Niall McGuirk and Michael Murphy decided to do something.

“It was just seeing the harrowing pictures from the Mediterranean, and when the two of us saw those pictures of people drowning at sea in an effort to attempt to have some sort of better life for themselves or to escape what they were escaping, we just felt we couldn’t ignore it,” explains McGuirk.
