Anna's Anchor to play Limerick Homecoming at Pery Square this evening

Following Limerick's victory over Kilkenny in yesterday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship – marking their fourth consecutive win – a major homecoming is planned for Pery Square in Limerick this evening, July 24, with performances from Anna's Anchor and more special guests.

"Anyone that is a fan of this band will know how much  this means, but myself & Clare will be playing at the homecoming of the hurlers in Pery Square," frontman Marty Ryan wrote on Twitter. "Can I please get the loudest 'For The Parish'?!?!?"

The Limerick City band released their latest album, The Merries, earlier this month – featuring Marty, alongside Brian Scally on drums, and Clare O'Brien providing backing vocals, as well as lead vocals on the project's closing track.

Anyone that is a fan of this band will know how much this means but myself & Clare will be playing tomorrow at the homecoming of the hurlers in Pery Square. Tickets are on eventmaster now. Can I please get the loudest “For The Parish”?!?!? @CWBdotie @LimerickCLG pic.twitter.com/531TA1vD2c

Some of Limerick's top artists have also shared their reactions to the All-Ireland win.

"Four. Four in a row," Denise Chaila wrote on Twitter. "Dunno what to even do with myself"

When one commenter suggested that the rapper – who recently opened for Sampa The Great in London – "write a song about it", Denise responded:

"Would you believe I'm out with a copy book and a pen behind my ear..."

Another one of the city's hip-hop heroes, Hazey Haze, also shared his response to the victory on Twitter.

"Remember when everyone looked down on Limerick??" he remarked. "Like only a few year ago? Now half of ye claim it..."

And finally, a message from Limerick icon Post Punk Podge...
