'Please do not touch my knob,' pleads Cork musician

Cork musician Áine Duffy has held her first gig out of her converted donkey box in which she plans to travel around the country.

Áine Duffy said that people, mostly men, consistently come up to her during live performances and try to adjust her public address (PA) system.
