A Night for Christy: "This is it"

U2 did a cover of Irish band`s Aslan  "This is" for "A Night with Christy", an event  that  took place in Dublin's Olympia Theatre, to raise money for Aslan`s singer, Christy Dignam who is fighting against cancer.
U2's performance happened at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. 




The one-off event  featured performances from Bressie, Danny O’Reilly (The Coronas), members of Horslips, Ryan Sheridan, Paul Brady, Shane MacGowan, Mary Black, Don Mescall, Tom Dunne (Something Happens), Jerry Fish, Steve Wall (The Stunning), Gavin Friday, Mark Feehily, Paul Walsh (Royseven), The Riptide Movement, Jedward, Gavin James and Kiera Dignam. All artists handpicked their favourite song from the Aslan setlist and  stepped into Christy’s shoes for one night only.
