Child Line Concert
The ChildLine Concert (known in recent years for sponsorship reasons as the Cheerios ChildLine Concert) is an annual pop music charity event which has taken place in Ireland since 1997. As the name suggests the money raised by the concert is donated to the young person's charity, ChildLine and many of the attendants are also children. Past performers include Westlife (who have performed every year since their inception), Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud, McFly, All Saints, Brian McFadden, S Club 7, Blue, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, 5ive, Sugababes, Busted, Big Brovaz, Samantha Mumba and Boyzone. To date the event has raised €2.5 million for ChildLine, €280,000 from 2007's event and an expected €400,000 from the 2008 event. The 2008 event was held at the O2 in Dublin on 16 December, the first ever concert to take place at the venue.

Famous quotes containing the words child, line and/or concert:
“When as a child I laughed and wept,
Time crept.
When as a youth I waxed more bold,
Time strolled.
When I became a full-grown man,
Time RAN.
When older still I daily grew,
Time FLEW.
Soon I shall find, in passing on,
Time gone.
O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen.”
—Henry Twells (1823–1900)
“Any walk through a park that runs between a double line of mangy trees and passes brazenly by the ladies’ toilet is invariably known as “Lover’s Lane.””
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Science is unflinchingly deterministic, and it has begun to force its determinism into morals. On some shining tomorrow a psychoanalyst may be put into the box to prove that perjury is simply a compulsion neurosis, like beating time with the foot at a concert or counting the lampposts along the highway.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
