Cobblestone Bar, Dublin,
23 December 2024
For many years now a group of traditional musicians have gathered every Christmas to raise essential funds for the Capuchin Day Centre who work with Dublin’s homeless.
Photographer Steven de Paoire attended the most recent fundraiser in the Cobblestone Bar, Dublin, in December 2024 and took the photographs in this gallery.
Our thanks to Steven for his kind permission to publish them on the ITMA website.
