Big thanks to Declan for letting us know about a gig happening in The Button Factory this Friday night to benefit relief efforts in Haiti. Attention Bebe and Mob Fandango headline the show and The Button Factory have offered their venue for free so that all proceeds can go to Partners in Health in their efforts to bring relief and humanitarian aid to the people of Haiti.

No doubt everyone is aware of the massive earthquake that occurred recently in Haiti, one of the worlds poorest nations. Reports coming out of Haiti at the moment are staggeringly hard to comprehend, with the Haitian Prime Minister stating that over 100,000 people may have died as a result of the quake.

The International response to aid the people of Haiti has been swift, with governments, companies and aid agencies all scrambling to help. The general public too have been generous and forthcoming with aid, with social networking coming to the fore once again.

However, the more help and assistance that can be provided the better. There are numerous ways you can donate any spare cash to the relief funds, some of which are listed below:

Donate to UNICEF or CARE via Google
Donate to Concern
Donate to Oxfam
Donate to Goal
Donate to Trocaire
Donate to Irish Red Cross
