These efforts include repairing vital infrastructure, supporting health facilities, reconnecting families separated by conflict and providing life-saving food and hygiene items as well as shelter given the cold and snow on the ground.

For those who don't get tickets or are unable to attend the concert, the option to donate to the Irish Red Cross will be available through banking app Revolut.

Christy was forced to cancel a string of show's at Vicar Street in December and January due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time.

Christy’s latest studio album Flying into Mystery was released on November 19 and features 12 songs.

The record is described as "a collection that Christy has brought to life through his distinctive writing and unique interpretation of other artist’s songs."

Christy has garnered a loyal fanbase both in Ireland and abroad during his decades of performing. The singer has released more than 25 solo albums including Paddy on the Road (1969) and his multi-platinum pair of live albums, On the Road and Magic Nights in 2017 and 2018.
