WATCH: Armagh fiddle player performs amazing ‘Put ‘Em Under Pressure’ cover for Euro 2016

Colm Boohig

We’re buzzing after listening to this.

If you’re heading along to the Euros this summer you could do a lot worse than listening to this when you’re over in France to get pumped up.

Niall Murphy is a fiddle player and a half from Camlough in Armagh. We know how great he is because we already covered his excellent ‘Thriller’ rendition, but this tribute to the Irish football team may even trump that impressive display.

The 24-year-old performed this unique and fantastic cover of ‘Put ‘Em Under Pressure’ at Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin in Derry and, to make matters even better, photographer Colin Gillen managed to create 11 versions of Niall to represent the Irish football team.

Lads, this is something else altogether. Have a look…

It has us in the mood to listen to the original now, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
