Paddy Casey and more for Simon's charity gig

Paddy Casey is among those who'll be taking part in the Dublin Simon Community's 'Longest Night' fundraiser at the Button Factory next month.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 21 Nov 2008

'The Longest Night' takes place in the Button Factory on December 21 – the shortest day of the year, making it a long night for those sleeping on the streets of Dublin.

The gig features Paddy Casey and a special guest to be announced, with support from the Guggenheim Grotto, Heathers and The Mighty Stef. Comedian Damien Clarke will also be on hand to take care of MC duties.

And the Button Factory show is just part of 'The Longest Night' events, with a 24-hour carol-a-thon planned for Grafton St. the same day.

Tickets are on sale no for €25, with a special €100 VIP package available for the more generous among you, offering a drinks reception, private seated VIP area and more.

For ticket info call 1850 400 321.

Paddy Casey’s music has improved dramatically since he first emerged, the David Gray-isms of yore being replaced with something far more ambitious and colourful. ‘Addicted To Company’ incorporates swooping strings, the odd splash of brass, and even some gospel-flavoured backing vocals.

Sometimes it feels as though Ireland is suffering an overdose of bed-sit earnestness. For a generation of songwriters, elegant mooching has acquired the character of a national pastime. Amidst the apparently bottomless onslaught of weepy self-consciousness, Paddy Casey cuts a solitary figure. Although no less gushing than his peers, the Dublin singer boasts songwriting chops to match.
