Being a sucker for Irish music and its musicians, I was excited to hear that many of my favourites, especially Moya Brennan and Sinéad O'Connor, have clubbed together to make a Band Aid-esque song with a very Irish flavour.

For any fans of The Dubliners and other prominent Irish artists, take a look:

Ballad of Ronnie Drew to raise funds for Irish Cancer Society

As previously reported a host of Ireland's finest singers and musicians have produced a tribute to Ronnie Drew, one of the great voices of modern Irish music.

"The Ballad of Ronnie Drew" is by U2, Kila, The Dubliners and "A Band of Bowsies" - the Bowsies include Christy Moore, Shane MacGowan, Damien Dempsey, Andrea Corr, Sinead O'Connor and Moya Brennan.

"The Ballad of Ronnie Drew" was written by Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead) with Bono, The Edge and Simon Carmody and has been described as "a fitting tribute" to Ronnie Drew, who topped the Irish Charts with The Dubliners 'Seven Drunken Nights' in 1967.

Ronnie Drew chose the Irish Cancer Society to be the recipient of all profits from this track. The Irish Cancer Society, is dedicated to eliminating cancer and improving the lives of those living with cancer.
