THEIR song provided the background music to Tipperary’s All Ireland hurling final triumph last year and now they’re back with a new track to support their county’s push to retain the McCarthy Cup.

Johnny B and The Boogie Men, who had a huge hit this time last year with The Premier Rap, have just released The Premier Return.
