Why busk with us?
The Big Busk for Focus Ireland is an opportunity to address the homeless crisis from a different angle, by putting forward your creativity for a good cause.
With most performances taking place primarly in shopping centres across the country, passers-by who are making their journey home are encouraged to take this as an opportunity to reflect on what it means to have a place they can call home, how it feels being able to go back home after a long day, and what they can do to help those who don’t have that chance.
Whether you choose to join us at one of our busking locations or to organise your own event, expect a day full of music, connection, and purpose.
