Frances will be appearing at one of Ireland's largest and most prestigious venues, the National Concert Hall, Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2 on February 8th 2005. This concert, called the CLASAC Concert 2005, is an annual event organised by the Clontarf Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and the first half features 100 Irish singers, dancers and musicians aged between 9 and 18 years. The second half features a well-known Irish act (previous artistes have included Jimmy McCarthy, Altan and Maighread and Triona Ni Dhomhnaill) and this year it is Frances!

The concert is to raise funds for the CLASAC building, one of the largest and most comprehensive Irish Traditional Arts projects in Dublin. Clasac will serve the needs of Dublin Northside branches of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann while providing an outreach service to bring Traditional music into the schools and the communities of North Dublin and in particular the inner city.
