Moon & Sixpence for NYC

The Moon & Sixpence band is to perform in New York on 17/18 October.



The band, of which the late Des Byrne was a founder member, raises money for charitable causes in a limited number of gigs each year.

The band will be appearing at the Irish Arts Centre, and their performances are in aid of the Centre, which has Liam Neeson as its patron.

The connection with the IAC came about when Dan Donnelly's Arm, owned by Des Byrne's family, was lent as part of an exhibition of Fighting Irishmen in 2006. The exhibition subsequently moved to the South Street Museum in Lower Manhattan, and is now on display in Boston University.
