VIDEO: Milo sings his heart out to aid refugees

Some people sing for their supper, but not 11-year-old busker Milo McCarthy who plays the guitar on the streets for charity and has raised almost €3,000 in aid of Syrian refugees.

Milo, from Midleton, Co Cork, made €500 in just one hour while playing on Paul Street in Cork city centre last Saturday and is planning to repeat his performances every week from now until Christmas to help raise funds for desperate refugees.

“I plan to busk in Cork city and Midleton twice a week between now and Christmas or even longer if that’s what it takes to reach my target,” says Milo, who hopes people will help him raise money for the Migrant Crisis Appeal operated by the Irish Red Cross.
