Corrigan Brothers' ode to Tipp hurlers

The Corrigan Brothers are back in the studio after a year-long break and their first recording is a song for the Tipperary hurlers.

The Puckane brothers have been so impressed with Liam Sheedy's men that they have reworked Cameo's 1986 hit 'Word Up' into 'Up Tipp'. Ger Corrigan, guitarist with the band, said: “We had great craic recording the song. It's a mighty fusion of funk, hurling and Tipperary stars.”

The band have already appeared on RTÉ's 'Up for the Match' on two occasions and hope that this song is being sung on the evening before this year's All Ireland Final. Banjo player with the Corrigan Brothers, Willy Dunne, said: “If we do this song on 'Up for the Match', we will ask Gráinne Seoige and Des Cahill to join us.”

'Up Tipp' the song and video will be released on June 19th and will be available on YouTube from that day.
