RADAR: CHARITY TUCKS IN FOR GAV
BY SUZANNE KERINS
GAVIN FRIDAY was at a special dinner thrown in his honour by the Irish Hospice Foundation on Friday night at the Shelbourne Hotel. The special dinner was to thank Gavin for all his hard work on the Peter And The Wolf CD and book which was sold to raise money for the Foundation. My spy said: “Although Bono did the artwork, Gavin brought him on board after he decided to make the CD for the foundation. “Gavin was the major force behind the project so the foundation just wanted to thank him for what he did. “Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry from U2 were there as well to give their pal a big round of applause.”
The 61st annual Golden Globe awards are held in L.A. this Sunday, January 25th. Gavin, Maurice and Bono are nominated in the Best Original Song category. USA viewers can see the show live on NBC, from 8.00 pm Eastern.
