Liam O’Connor to headline RTE’s ‘Up For The Match’
Internationally renowned Killarney musician Liam O’Connor will open RTE’s ‘Up For The Match’ on Saturday night.
The curtain-raiser for the All-Ireland Football Final between Kerry and Galway will be broadcast by RTE on Saturday, the eve of the epic Sam Maguire clash.
O’Connor, who has appeared on Up For The Match several times before, will be opening the show with The Artane Band who are celebrating their 150th anniversary this year.
O’Connor will be accompanied by members of his own musical family, Saoirse, Oisin and Cillian. They will also close the show with a Galway band called Back West
“’Up For The Match’ has the great knack of capturing the pre-game tensions and the general good-humour that shows the positive side of GAA football. It’s an honour to be part of it with members of my own family as well as the legendary Artane Band who have played for every one of our Presidents and adorned countless national occasions over the years,” said O’Connor.
