Irish TV, Ireland’s first international TV channel will broadcast a special two hour live TV show from the Horse and Jockey Hotel in Tipperary on Wednesday next, September 3 from 8pm to 10pm. The live TV show will air on SKY TV channel 191, Freesat 400, all free to air boxes, Eircom’s eVision and online at www.irishtv.ie
The live show will include insightful and engaging interviews from both camps, expert analysis from top GAA pundits and all the excitement and atmosphere in the built up to the big match.
The ‘Dream For Liam’ live TV show on September 3 from the Horse and Jockey Hotel will look at the close links and fierce rivalry between Tipperary and Kilkenny ahead of one of the most eagerly awaited All-Ireland hurling finals in years.
The show will also include some great music from both Tipperary and Kilkenny while the pundits look at the key battles in the big match and the strengths and weaknesses of both panels.
Tipperary and Kilkenny GAA stalwarts will also take centre stage during the live TV show with former Tipp manager Declan Ryan and former player Joe Hayes among the panellists. They will be joined on the couch by Kilkenny Celtic Cross holders John Power, Michael Walsh and Michael Kavanagh – just a few of the top stars set to feature.
“We have followed the progress of both these counties from the very beginning of the year and we wanted to do something special to mark this historic final. Our live shows ahead of the All-Ireland last year attracted a phenomenal audience and we are confident that it will be similar this year,” commented Irish TV head of programming Malachi Cush.
Entertainment on the night will be provided by the crème de la crème of musical acts from both counties with the highly regarded folk group ‘The Kilkenny’s’ set to rock the house. Tipperary will also be well represented in the musical stages by Louise Morrissey, and traditional music sensations Ceol Trad who are set to have the audience and team dancing all the way to Croke Park.
If that wasn’t enough, legendry duo Foster and Allen are lined up. Mick Foster has strong links with Tipperary hurling. His great grandfather played on the Tipperary winning team in the first All Ireland in 1888 against Galway in Birr. His cousin Matt Hassett captained the 1961 winning All Ireland Tipperary team.
