Following the recent disaster in Haiti, Johnny Rayge & ITO joined forces with promoters GigEvent to do their bit to raise money for those affected by the earthquake. The song I Like Disco, is a homage to a great Irish sporting hero and international rugby captain Brian O’Driscoll.

Coinciding with the RBS Six Nations Championship the single is available for download through http://www.ilikedrisco.com

All profits will be donated to Haven’s earthquake appeal, and to their volunteer building programme.
