Over 500 people a year take their own lives in Ireland, which I thought was a shocking figure when I first saw it.

The door tax is 8 Euro,every cent of which will help Aware carry out important work.

Already confirmed are NEON STARS,FRIEND,THE VAGABONDS and SCHEME SOUL VISION

All proceeds go to AWARE

The night will also see screenings of Joy Division documentaries,performances and films such as Control.
