Christy Moore has announced a special concert with Irish folk group Beoga at Dublin’s Vicar Street in a show of solidarity with the band.<\/p>\n

The singer has invited Beoga to join him as special guests at the venue on Monday 7 December, following their decision to withdraw from Ed Sheeran\u2019s North American tour last month.<\/p>\n

Announcing the concert, promoters said: “In solidarity with Beoga, Christy has invited them to appear as special guests in Vicar Street on 7th December.”<\/p>\n

The announcement follows a high-profile controversy in September when Beoga withdrew from Sheeran\u2019s Loop tour in support of US rapper Macklemore, who had been removed from the line-up following comments he made about Gaza during a concert in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Beoga, who have collaborated with Sheeran for more than a decade, said at the time that they could not continue performing at venues where artists speaking out in support of Palestine were being silenced.<\/p>\n

Sheeran subsequently said Macklemore\u2019s removal had been a decision taken by promoters, rather than himself.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RT\u00c9 Radio 1 following their departure, Beoga singer and fiddle player Niamh Dunne said the group remained friends with Sheeran.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re working musicians who made a principled decision, and the financial and professional stakes are very real in all of that,” she said.<\/p>\n

Moore, who has long been associated with political and social causes, is currently preparing for a series of sold-out concerts at Vicar Street throughout November.<\/p>\n

The newly announced December concert will be a standing show.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 28 October at 9am through Ticketmaster.ie.<\/p>\n
