The Script flashmob
The band were in Temple Bar on Saturday.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Sep 2012
Dublin's Wall Of Fame well and truly came to life this weekend with the appearance of Danny O'Donoghue and co on the cobble streets. In an early afternoon tweet on Saturday, the band announced: "Busking Hall Of Fame at The Wall of Fame - Temple Bar around 2:15 - Bring Your Guitar!!!! ;-) G pic.twitter.com/r6FsATaG"
Sure enough, they duly arrived with acoustics and were quickly surrounded by adoring fans, who were treated to a few songs, including a rendition of 'We Cry' (below).

They talk about channelling their inner Manic Street Preacher, and explain why, despite their success, they won’t be splashing out on Rolexes. words Stuart Clark
