Ireland's official Olympic anthem 'Green to Gold', sung by Moya Brennan and written by Grand Canal's Niall Austin, is set for its TV premiere.

The song will get its first airing on RTE 1's Saturday Night with Miriam O'Callaghan at 9:45 this Saturday July 19.

The single will be officially released on August 1, and profits will go towards developing amateur sports in Ireland. Grand Canal's 'If You Knew', taken from new album Beauty Never Seen, appears on the b-side.
