Tupelo to play Croke Park on Saturday

Thanks to Kevin Duffy of the Dublin-based folk/roots/rock band Tupelo for the good news that the band are to play at the half-time interval during Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling Final in Croke Park. They're quoted on the 'Music news' page of the RTE website as saying:

We're really looking forward to playing at Croker and we have no fear of playing in front of 80,000 people because we have put years into getting to this stage and we intend to grab it with both hands. There are not many bands who have the opportunity to play their own songs in front of so many people so we will enjoy it and make the most of it!

Tupelo's debut album, Dirty money, will be released on Friday 23 September (see also the BIB post of 30 July 2011).
