Hozier performed a surprise gig at a Dublin Children’s Hospice last night
Hozier may be known for his sombre tone and complex lyrics, but last night the singer-songwriter proved he is full of the spirit of Christmas when he performed a surprise gig for a very special cause.
The Wicklow native dropped into Laura Lynn's Children's Hospice in Dublin to perform for a crowd of parents and children who had gathered for a special Christmas lights ceremony.
He took to the stage alongside Irish indie rockers Ham Sandwich for a touching rendition of Winter Wonderland.
