Tonight, as the 2026 Six Nations bursts into life, here’s a throwback to last year’s recording of the Ballyclare Male Choir delivering a powerful and stirring performance of “Ireland’s Call” to set the tone for an unforgettable opening evening.
With the eyes of the rugby world fixed on the Ireland vs France clash in Paris later tonight, the choir’s rich harmonies and commanding presence bring fresh electricity to the iconic anthem. Their voices rise with pride and purpose—an echo of the anticipation felt across the island as fans gear up for another chapter in this legendary rivalry.
From the first note, Ballyclare Male Choir captures the spirit of unity that “Ireland’s Call” embodies: four provinces, one team, and millions of supporters ready to roar together. The arrangement builds with emotion and intensity, mirroring the stakes of the tournament ahead. By the final crescendo, the room is lifted—charged with green pride and ready for kickoff.
This performance is more than music; it’s a rallying cry. A reminder of what tonight means. A celebration of the passion that binds supporters from Belfast to Cork, Dublin to Derry, and everywhere in between.
As Ireland prepare to face France under the lights, let this anthem carry us forward—stronger, louder, and ready for the battle ahead. Come on Ireland!
