A Bono-autographed copy of the "Uber Deluxe Edition" of the recent Achtung Baby re-issue is being auctioned as part of the Tosca Pops Up charity event this week in Dublin.
A truly unique pop up to benefit the work of Self Help Africa and help people across Africa to lift themselves out of poverty.
“We’re delighted to be popping up for Self Help Africa. They’re all about empowering people to grow more food, giving people a help up, not a hand out and we’re proud to be doing our bit. It’s gonna be a cracking night, a real celebration of the very best of Irish – music, food, people, and all with a bit of Tosca attitude. It’ll be fantastic to see all the old crew and customers again after 10 years! I’m really looking forward to it.”- Norman Hewson, Tosca.
Tosca Pops Up refers to the one-time re-opening of Tosca, a popular Dublin restaurant that Bono's brother, Norman, used to own. The restaurant crew is re-opening for one night to raise money for Self-Help Africa
