Nenagh musician Conor Fahy, otherwise known as 'Dáwna', has been a viral sensation in Tipperary in recent days with his anthem 'Blue and Gold' all over social media in the county and throughout the entire country.

On Saturday night ahead of the All Ireland final he was joined by Cailíní Lua (who are Tipperary Rose and Ballina native Tara Brady's band) for a live performance on RTÉ's Up for the Match.

Following their performance of Blue and Gold, the tempo switched up and Tara and her fellow band member treated the audience to an Irish dancing performance before going back into a fantastic rendition of the classic song 'Slievnamon'.
