boygenius and Ye Vagabonds have today released a stirring cover of “The Parting Glass” in aid of the Aisling Project. The track’s cover art features Sinéad O’Connor who recorded a version of the song in 2002.
boygenius, Ye Vagabonds, and Interscope will donate all net proceeds from the track to the Aisling Project, an after-school project working with children and young people growing up in a disadvantaged area in Dublin, chosen by the Sinéad O’Connor Estate.
Discussing the release, Project Leader Mícheál Clear said: “We are absolutely thrilled that boygenius have chosen to give proceeds from the release to Aisling Project. It’s an absolute privilege to be associated with the stunningly beautiful homage to Sinead O’Connor and we can’t possibly thank boygenius enough.”
About the Aisling Project
The Aisling Project is an after-school intervention program working in five different centres across the whole of Dublin’s suburb of Ballymun, serving over 150 children and young people from the age of 7 to 18+ years. Each child and young person who attends the Aisling Project receives a hot, nutritious dinner and is supported and helped to complete their homework. The Aisling Project provides a wide range of ever-expanding activities all in a welcoming, safe, caring, and fun-filled environment.
The Aisling Project takes a holistic, child-focused approach and provides a wrap-around approach to care, education, and listening to the voice of the child. The Aisling Project has developed strong links to several other services, both local and further afield, and makes appropriate referrals when required. For more information, visit Aisling Project.
